A sports licence is issued by or on behalf of a sports federation. It entitles the holder to take part in the activities organised by the federation and its affiliated structures and, in accordance with the procedures laid down in its articles of association, in its operations. With a view to issuing the licence, sports associations collect the full identity of persons who may be concerned by the provisions ofarticle L. 212-9, under conditions defined by a decree issued after consultation of the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés.
The statutes of sports federations may stipulate that members of affiliated associations must hold a sports licence.
