This summer, the EU is hosting some of the world’s largest sporting events, including the Euro 2024 championship ⚽ and the Olympic and Paralympic Games. 🏅 As athletes step into the spotlight, they face significant off-field challenges, from social media scrutiny and complex commercial relationships to the mental demands of competing at the highest level. Ecorys has conducted a study for the European Commission’s DG EAC to map athletes’ rights in and around big sport events focusing on three main dimensions: 🔹 Sport Governance and Athletes’ Representation 🔹 Global Politics and Use of Social Media 🔹 Mental Health The study examined the main challenges and good practices regarding athletes’ rights, including: 🔹 Freedom of expression 🔹 Privacy rights 🔹 Representation in decision-making 🔹 A healthy, safe, and equal sporting environment For detailed findings and recommendations, read the full report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXBe98uX #AthletesRights #Euro2024 #Olympics2024 #MentalHealth #SportsGovernance #SocialMedia #EUStudy
