Introduction. Fair play represents an ensemble of displayed moral qualities and attitudes, in order to perform sports activities in a climate favourable for sports performances, competition, supporters and athletes. Sport, by its purpose, represents the athletes’ capacity of winning honestly, by respecting their opponents, teammates, supporters, etc. Education in the spirit of fair play is done by the coach in collaboration with the athlete, based on the moral knowledge and values taught by family and school. The athletes with an adequate level of fair play displayed in trainings and competitions determine a proper behaviour and an easier social integration, starting from the observation that “well-raised persons” are significantly easier to accept than persons situated at the other extreme, from the perspective of behaviour in this case. The objective of our investigation consists of identifying the correlations between fair play in competitions and fair play displayed in the society. The research methods used within the study were the method of bibliographic study, the observation method, the survey method, (within which we applied the questionnaire for fair play) and the SPSS method of analysis and interpreting the results. Results and discussions. Results have demonstrated that the athletes displaying fair play behaviour in competitions have proper behaviour, by respecting the moral norms and values imposed by the society. Conclusions. The study confirms that fair play conduct is based on the moral dimension that must be controlled and learnt (as the case may be) in trainings, competitions and in social relationships outside arenas and gymnasiums. Thus, the athlete will represent a model for young people, for the future athletes, and he will integrate easily in the society, both while practicing sport and mostly after wrapping up the sports career and integrating in various fields of activity.
