In sports, competition law regulates key issues such as the dual role of governing bodies, collective sale of broadcasting and media rights, player transfer systems, and financial fair play rules. In the media & entertainment sector, competition law addresses exclusivity in content licensing, vertical integration in broadcasting and streaming, and mergers that may reduce market competition.
