Workshop E

Sports and safety inside and outside the stadium

Sports events have become the perfect paradigm of highly crowded social events. From football to baseball, top sports game days equal a unique challenge for organizers in terms of safety for both those participating in such an event and those just attending as committed supporters.

Whatever sport we might think of, it seems clear that organizers need to stick to thorough legal frameworks when it comes to the safety aspects to be considered when putting together a big sports feast such as the Superbowl, a F1 Grand Prix or, specially this year, the FIFA World Cup final to take place in Rio de Janeiro in mid July 2014.

The purpose of this workshop is to get a glimpse of the general legal framework applicable to the safety aspects of big sports events in different jurisdictions.
