SPORTS law is a vital area of legal practice that deals with the various legal issues and challenges that arise in the world of sports. In Malaysia, the development of sports law has been driven by the growth of sports and the increased importance of sports in the country’s social and economic fabric.

The development of sports law in Malaysia can be traced back to the establishment of the National Sports Council in 1971. The council was created to promote the development of sports in Malaysia, to advise the minister on matters pertaining to sports and to promote the country’s participation in international sporting events.
