A exploração do trabalho infantil no futebol: Regulamentação jurídica constitucional e infraconstitucional (Brasil).

The following article addresses the exploitation of child labor in sports, analyzing the legal regulations applicable to soccer teams in Brazil. In this sense, and considering the need to investigate further the consequences for children and adolescents, the following problem emerges: how does Brazilian legislation seek to impose limits that guarantee the protection of children and adolescents in the sporting sphere in Brazil? The approach applied in this article is the deductive method. The source of the research is the bibliography on the subject and the legal framework. The article has three specific objectives: to contextualize the exploitation of child labor and its historical aspects; to address the exploitation of children and adolescents in soccer; and finally, to analyze the legal protection for children and adolescents in terms of child labor in Brazilian soccer. We identify the existence of a limitation in Brazilian legislation, which imposes restrictions against the exploitation of child labor by children and adolescents in sports, seeking to guarantee their right to a healthy childhood and adolescence, as well as to guarantee the full protection of their rights. Such legal provisions converge with international provisions, especially those laid out by FIFA (Federation International Football Association). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
