Abstract

Nogomet je najpopularniji sport na svijetu što dokazuju broj navijača na stadionima, gledanost prijenosa te općenito visina prihoda nogometnih klubova i ostalih nogometnih organizacija. Međutim, velika povećanja prihoda karakteristična su samo za mali broj najvećih klubova i liga, dok je većina ostalih europskih klubova pod teretom prezaduženosti i rizika insolventnosti čije se rješavanje smatra prioritetom nogometnog tržišta i u kratkom i u dugom roku. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati način pravnog ustroja europskih nogometnih klubova, pojasniti oblike njihovog financiranja te isto staviti u kontekst nastajanja Uefinog sustava financijskih pravila. Kao izvori podataka za pisanje ovog rada korišteni su sekundarni podaci. Uefin sustav financijskih pravila nastao je dijelom zbog dubokih financijskih nepravilnosti na nogometnom tržištu, a dijelom i zbog političkih razloga motiviranih zadržavanjem postojeće hijerarhije moći najjačih europskih nogometnih klubova. Iako je Uefin sustav financijskih pravila pomogao učiniti europski nogomet profitabilnim, sukladno mišljenju mnogo autora, sustav nije u potpunosti postigao svoju primarnu svrhu smanjenja financijskih nepravilnosti, nego je efektivno zamijenio jednu nejednakost drugom zamrzavajući postojeće stanje i dodatno povećavajući kompetetivni disbalans u europskim nogometnim ligama.

Abstract (english)

Football is a most popular sport in the world according to stadium attendances, television viewership and generally high revenues of football clubs and other football assocciations. Nevertheless, extraordinary revenue increase is applicable only to a few top football clubs and leagues, while majority of other European football clubs are under burden of indebtedness and risk of insolvency, issues which are considered football world's priorities to be solved. Aim of this paper is to present different legal forms and different financing methods of European football clubs and to put them in the perspective of UEFA financial fair-play. Secondary data was used while writing this paper. UEFA financial fair-play set of rules was enforced partly because of deep financial irregularities on the football market and partly because of political reasons about keeping the current hierarchy among European club football elite. Although UEFA financial fair-play set of rules did help in turning European club football profitable, according to several authors, set of rules did not fully accomplish its primary purpose to act on football financial irregularities, effectively substituting one form of inequality for another by freezing the current state of affairs and even further reducing competitive balance in European football leagues.
