In connection with the development of sports policy and sports diplomacy of the European Union, it is important to explore the individual possibilities of using sport in foreign policy, public diplomacy, and the field of external relations. Recent advancements in the development of sports diplomacy and the use of sport as a tool in foreign policy suggests that cooperation in the field of sport will rarely be part of agreements between the EU and non-member countries. The aim of this paper is to identify references to sport and cooperation in the field of sport in the various agreements between the European Union and non-member countries and to subsequently identify the implementation and fulfilment of the provisions of these agreements. The paper shows that absence of references on cooperation in sport in the agreements between the EU and non-member countries are not an obstruction for cooperation in the mentioned area. There are many tools and means through which such cooperation between various actors from EU Member States and non-Member countries can take place.
