الملخص EN

Objectives: The study highlights the importance of investing in the sports industry by identifying the requirements and obstacles to the transformation of sports clubs into commercial companies under the provisions of Kuwaiti law.

This was done by displaying investment experiences in the sports field in comparative legal systems, and by placing some suggestions that would facilitate the transformation process in Kuwait.

Given the importance of investing in the sports field, we considered that it is important to conduct a comparative analytical study of the requirements for the transformation of sports clubs into companies, by asking the following two questions; what are the requirements for the transformation of sports clubs into companies in Kuwait? And are the current legal frameworks sufficient to do so? Method: This study adopts the comparative analytical descriptive approach by reviewing, analyzing Sports Law No.

87 of 2017, and comparing this law with comparative legal systems.

Results: The study concluded that the legal framework for clubs does not constitute a real transformation in sports investment, under the Sports Law, as the legal framework still needs to develop to achieve the goals set by the Kuwaiti legislator, especially with regard to the transformation of the current sports clubs from social work to Investment activity and transformation into commercial companies.

On the other hand, governance rules are almost missing in the sports investment system, which requires the introduction of governance rules in line with the nature of the sports investment sector.

Conclusion: The study concludes that despite a long time since the issuance of the Sports Law, the controls, and conditions for converting sports clubs into commercial entities have not been established yet.
