Abstract

The French state has exerted significant influence on its sports system since the 1930s. The Ministry of Sport is the dominant actor in the field of sport politics. Both towards the nongovernmental institutions on the national level and towards the governmental bodies on the regional level, the Ministry of Sport executes a substantial influence. The main instruments are a distinct legislation for sport and an extensive financial support of sport. With the Code du Sport in 2006, the French government created a comprehensive law regulating the interaction of all relevant actors in sport. In 2011, the French state – national state and the territorial authorities – spent 15.13 billion euros on sport. Following current studies two-thirds of the French population participates in physical activities and about 27 % is organized within a sport club or association.
