The Parliamentary Academy in Tunisia is set to organize a parliamentary study day on October 19, 2026, to discuss a proposed basic law related to sports infrastructure. The event will take place at the Rاضية الحداد hall in the Assembly of People's Representatives, starting at 9:30 am. This study day aims to examine the proposed law, which focuses on the legal framework governing sports infrastructure and related issues, such as management, organization, and governance.
The seminar will review the updated version of the proposed law as part of the continued examination by the Committee on Education, Vocational Training, Scientific Research, Youth, and Sports in the Assembly of People's Representatives. The goal is to finalize discussions, gather expert opinions, and prepare for a vote on the law's provisions. The proposed law, submitted by a group of deputies in May 2025, seeks to establish a more suitable legislative framework for the sports sector's developments.
The proposed law aims to improve the governance of sports infrastructure, enhance management methods, and promote transparency in financial transactions, ultimately supporting the sustainability and performance of sports activities. Key aspects of the law include conditions for running sports infrastructure, setting responsibility periods, organizing elections, and preventing conflicts of interest. Additionally, the law focuses on developing financing mechanisms and balancing investment encouragement with preserving the independence of sports decision-making and club identities.
The study day is expected to further deepen discussions on the updated proposal, exchange views on its responsiveness to athletes' and sports stakeholders' expectations, and enhance the chances of drafting a feasible and effective legislative text. This legislative process takes place amid a growing need to review the legal framework governing sports infrastructure to keep pace with changes in sports activities and consolidate principles of good governance, transparency, and accountability.
The seminar's objectives align with Tunisia's efforts to achieve sustainable results in sports at both national and international levels. By hosting this event, the Parliamentary Academy demonstrates its commitment to engaging with various stakeholders and experts in the sports sector to ensure that the proposed law meets the needs of all parties involved.
The event is part of a broader effort to reform and modernize the sports sector in Tunisia. The proposed law on sports infrastructure is a crucial step towards creating a more enabling environment for sports development in the country. The seminar will provide a platform for stakeholders to share their perspectives and contribute to the development of a comprehensive and effective legislative framework.
The Parliamentary Academy's initiative reflects the growing recognition of the importance of sports in Tunisia's social and economic development. By prioritizing the development of sports infrastructure and governance, the country aims to promote a culture of sports excellence, encourage investment in the sector, and foster a healthier and more active population.
