Re-amateurization

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reamateurization is recognition as an amateur . Until the approval of the amateur regulations at the 1984 Olympic Games , athletes who had once been declared professional athletes were generally completely excluded from amateur sports. These regulations, which have been in force since 1894, were repealed by the 1981 Olympic Congress in Baden-Baden , but are still valid today, for example in American college sports . Here, however, a distinction is made between experience / training as a professional (= re-amateurization impossible) and payment from a preliminary contract (= re-amateurization possible) as well as competitions against professionals (e.g. in the context of preparation for the Olympic Games and the Olympic Games = harmless to amateur status). In sports with transfer fees , such as B. football , if the re-amateurization is regulated pragmatically , especially with regard to the end of a career , the FIFA regulations stipulate that a professional player can register as an amateur again at least 30 days after his last game as a professional player and that in the event of a re- amateurization, none Compensation (transfer fee) is due. However, if you become a professional again within 30 months, training compensation will be due again.
