Over the last few centuries, sports and competitions were either for entertainment or for gaining defensive preparation. In the current age, the competitions are extremely varied in terms of goals, types
and functions. This issue creates some juridical questions; including this important question that concerning the recent transformations in the motivation and function of the competitions, is the permission only reserved for stipulated competitions or it has wider range? The current study will analyze the above-mentioned questions with juridical analysis method. The results indicate that the permitted competitions are not limited to the stipulated competitions; because the taboo competition is only about gambling.
