The analysis of religious pluralism in the world of sport, through reference to the different cases in which it manifests itself, makes it possible to enucleate two orders of general considerations. Firstly, it is possible to assert that sport is experienced not only as a means of educating and training the individual, but also as an instrument through which to bear witness to the religious belief to which one belongs. If marked by the principles of fairness, non-discrimination and non-violence, sport contributes to the full affirmation and growth of personal identity. On the other hand, religions, through dialogue and sharing the universal language of sport, appear to foster a common sense of belonging and participation for the affirmation of a sport that is an opportunity to initiate those processes of change that are essential for the construction of a truly inclusive society. The judicial protection of the athlete's fundamental rights and freedoms is no less problematic. The complex articulation of the sports justice system, in fact, appears to leave unresolved the questions of the protection of the athlete's religious identity. The identification of adequate responses to the various identity instances is therefore not easy to resolve. However long and uncertain, however, this path of research appears necessary in order to ensure effective protection of diversity in sport. The normative and jurisdictional autonomy of the sports system, in fact, cannot fail to relate to the need both to protect the specific identities of athletes and not to ignore professed religions or to privilege one at the expense of the others. Only in this direction can a participation in sport be ensured that allows the 'athlete-faithful' to express or not to express his or her religious affiliation without such a choice being detrimental to membership of the sports system or implying any compression of religious freedom.
