As international cooperation in sports is up and coming, the different aspects of sports law are focusing. Korea, China and Japan are giving more attention to this ever‐increasing phenomenon. As a result, these countries are recognizing, discussing and coping with the inevitably arising dissonances that are and will continue to occur as the field of sports law makes its way into the Korean scene. To have an exchange among different cultures that supercedes language, religion and policy is vital to the success of mutual understanding in all areas. The World Cup of 2002 held by Korea and Japan is a wonderful example. This event significantly affected the sports industry, and, in turn, sports law and policy. Another example is the Asian Games, which now open biannually and contribute to a wider intercultural understanding and cooperation. Now that there is a clear understanding of the importance of these events, it is essential that we begin to develop a more concrete legal framework for how they should be managed. To advance from this grassroots level of understanding in the area of sport law in Korea, it is vital that we take a look at various legal systems that have more sports laws in place and analyze them to see what aspects of those systems might be suitable or adaptable to our own needs. In this paper, I have tried to establish the necessary directions for Asian sports law as follows. First, I have discussed the need for definition in Asian sports law. Second, regarding the answer to the question, “Why do we need comparison between Asian sports law?” I have demonstrated the reasons: interchange and international cooperation in Asian sports; the study of the Asian legal system; settlement of the Asian law and legal system and unification and harmony in Asian sports law. Third, I have examined, “What is the task for comparison between Asian sports law? It should be the same answer above Second. I would expect a lot of achievement from activation of an Asian Sports Law Association formed at this time. Lastly, I suggest founding a research and education institute to study Asian sports law and to cultivate specialists of it. I recommend establishing a college or research institute by national policy. But the first consideration is a support system for funding and human resources. In addition, an Asian sports and sport law information center are required. We should prepare for not only a “united Asia” or an “Asian economic social community” but also private and governmental organizations for interchange and international cooperation in sports. As we stand at the beginning of the 21st century, in the flow of globalization and internationalization, “western” law invades into Asia. Asia needs in particular new Asian law based on traditional Asian religion, ethics and morals. Asian sports law should be enacted in the direction of unification and harmonization all over the world based on Asia’s autonomy and by academic, regional and national links and cooperation.
