Articulated regulations on combating racism exist only in some team sports: the most detailed and strict regulations are implemented by the Hungarian Football Federation (Magyar Labdarúgó szövetség - MLSZ). These regulations are basically the Hungarian transpositions of the general regulations established by the FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) and the UEFA (United European Football Association).[1] and 'Rasszizmus elleni konferenciát tartottak az MLSZ-székházban', MLSZ.hu, 20.02.2012., available at: http://www.mlsz.hu/cikkek/szovetseg/2012/02/20/rasszizmus-elleni-konferenciat-tartottak-az-mlsz-szekhazban#(23.02.2012) |
