Uporedna analiza statuta kontinentalnih fudbalskih asocijacija – sličnosti i specifičnosti

Abstract

The paper explores the similarities and rare differences contained in the provisions of the statutes of continental football federations throughout the world. In addition to the statutes’ structure, general provisions, conditions for membership in the federations, and some exceptional modalities for admission of football associations of countries that are not located on the continent of the home federation, these norms also prescribe the forms of institutional organization of federations. The organizational structure of the federation consists of the congress, the executive board, the president, the secretary- general, as well as arbitration, disciplinary and quasi-judicial bodies, and committees with different jurisdictions. The highest legal acts of individual federations contain authentic, rare provisions, which may serve as a model for a more detailed legal regulation.
