Abstract

The present work focuses on addressing the lack of regulation in the pension system for athletes, with a specific focus on football players. The key proposal involves developing a legislative project that comprehensively and precisely addresses this issue. It is suggested that this project clearly defines who will be the beneficiaries of this special retirement system, establishing access requirements based on the trajectory, competitive level, and years of service in sports. It is essential to ensure that the provisions align with current constitutional and organic regulations and that the best practices observed in comparative legislation are coherently adapted. The active participation of key stakeholders, including athletes, clubs, and experts in labor law and social security, is crucial in the process of formulating the legislative project. This will ensure that the proposed system is equitable, viable, and effective. Additionally, the importance of establishing robust monitoring and oversight mechanisms to ensure transparency and proper administration of funds allocated to athletes' retirement is emphasized. A gradual transition to the new system is recommended to allow those involved to effectively adapt to the changes.
