Today, football is known as an industry in the world. In addition, contract rights play a fundamental role in the management and planning of industries, and the football industry is no exception. Normally, the athletes and sports managers who are parties to the contract regulate their sports activities with contracts that, by signing them, have rights and obligations towards both the players and the clubs and stadiums. During the past decades until now in Iran, sports contracts have not yet found their privileged legal position and in some cases due to the flaws in those contracts, losses have been caused to sports federations and clubs. However, it can be said that in customary law, this issue has been almost resolved and the judicial procedure of this legal system has reflected this case in a suitable manner. Therefore, according to all the aspects and topics, in this article, the position and role of sports contracts in the field of football was investigated using the analytical-descriptive method. Finally, based on the studies conducted, it can be stated that there are similarities between the labor contract and the football sports contract in terms of definition, elements, standards and labor laws, and both of them are continuous and supplementary contracts; However, football sports contracts are drafted and approved by federations, and unlike an employment contract which is a voluntary contract, a football sports contract is a ceremonial contract, and in a football sports contract, the employer is a legal entity, and the purpose of sports contracts is to approve sports rules and regulations. Therefore, managers and famous athletes should be aware of the text of their sports contracts before entering into a contract so that they do not face challenges and possible problems in their career path.
