Abstract
Introduction and purpose: Sports clubs and institutions, as legal persons, have rights and obligations that may result in their civil or disciplinary liability if they fail to perform them. Civil liability of sports clubs and institutions for damages to athletes and spectators is one of the important and complex legal issues in the field of sports. The purpose of this article is to examine the legal nature of this type of liability and the factors affecting it. Methodology: The research method of this article is descriptive-analytical and library sources and official documents have been used. To analyze the subject, theories and legal foundations of domestic and international law have been used. Results: The results show that the basis of civil liability of sports clubs and institutions in the Iranian legal system is based on the presumption of fault and their most important duty is to observe the safety obligations of the club. These obligations include creating safe conditions for sports activities, selecting qualified athletes and coaches, providing sports insurance, observing sports and ethical rules and regulations, etc. In case of non-observance of these obligations, sports clubs and institutions will be liable for damages to athletes and spectators. Conclusion: This article, considering the importance of the subject and the lack of previous research in this field, can be a guide for solving legal disputes in the field of sports. It can also provide suggestions for improving the laws and regulations related to civil liability of sports clubs and institutions.
