The author addresses the legality requirements for sanctions imposed by clubs and associations in football operations, categorizing different bases for intervention and authorities according to the type of subjugation (e.g., indirect members, employees, licensees). After presenting organizational structures and fundamental requirements for penalties, where recognized procedural principles and fundamental rights are transferred to sports, the author discusses club penalties first, followed by association penalties. He particularly focuses on club and labor law authorizations, the effectiveness of dynamic references in statutes, liability for fans, stadium bans, recognition of regulations contracts, 'ne bis in idem' in the association network, Article 12 of the Basic Law for amateurs, and finally, on legal protection.
