The legal framework for establishing private sports academies in Algeria: Between theory and practice
Keywords:
legal framework, private sports academies, sports legislation, entrepreneurship, AlgeriaAbstract
This article aims to study the legal framework that regulates the establishment of private sports academies in Algeria, by analysing applicable legislative and regulatory texts, and demonstrating their effectiveness in promoting an entrepreneurial approach to sports. The researchers adopted a descriptive analytical approach, comparing relevant laws and executive decrees with the reality of field practice. The results showed that, although the Algerian legal framework provides an important regulatory base, it still lacks effective implementation mechanisms that keep pace with economic and sports transformations. The study concludes that legislation specific to sports institutions needs to be developed and that administrative procedures must be simplified to encourage sports investment. This will ensure the integration of roles among the relevant sectors and achieve sustainable development in the sports field.
