Africa-Press – Angola. The internship program for players without a club at the present time, designed by the National Association of Footballers of Angola (ANFA), ends on the next 10th of the current year, in Luanda.
Called “Football Player’s Internship”, the initiative consists of bringing together 27 athletes in the field adjacent to the 11 de Novembro National Stadium, where they undergo technical preparation under the command of former Angolan international Locô.
The president of ANFA, Igor Nascimento, said that for that, minimum conditions were created, similar to those of some teams that militate in the National Championship of the I Division, known as Girabola.
“The objective is to prepare them technically and physically so that in the event that an interested club appears, whether in the first or second division, it is not out of shape. In addition to the sports aspects, there is training with lectures, financial advice and career management”, explained the manager.
Last Thursday, sports lawyer Egas da Piedade Viegas was invited to address, with athletes, the Sports Employment Contract and related issues. Concept, form, period and termination clause.
Athlete agency, concept, time and consideration were also discussed in depth by the lawyer and administrator of EV Visão Desportiva, with simplified approaches in order to facilitate the understanding of the participants, taking into account the lack of legal culture of those present.
In methodological terms, Viegas sought to transform the lecture into a dialogue in which he sought to explore the knowledge that each one had on the subject.
The Sports Employment Contract is a manifestation of will between a sports entity and a professional practitioner who aims to practice a certain modality.
Regarding the characteristics of the contract, more specifically the termination clauses, in this particular when the employer demands the worker, it is a penal indemnity clause, according to the jurist’s explanations to the JA.
In the opposite direction, that is, when the worker receives payment from the employer, we are faced with a compensatory penalty clause.
“We are talking about the limit, and looking at our reality, the absurd penalty clause has been applied, higher than the value of the contract. What is prohibited by law. The limit of the penal clause is defined by the value of the contract itself”, explained Egas Viegas .
As an example, he mentioned that an athlete who receives 100 million kwanzas, in five years, the amount in question must be the limit, exceptionally in situations where the image exploitation contract also exists, which is secondary to the Sports Employment Contract. .
“In the agency of athletes, the time limit of this contract is two years. If the percentage is not agreed between the parties, the Law establishes five percent, without discarding the possibility of the parties to negotiate a maximum value”, he concluded.
