THE CONNECTION BETWEEN GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE SPORT SYSTEMS IN THE MODERN ERA

Abstract

Governance is an extremely important process for the current state of the sports system. Since the 1970s, when the commercialization of professional sports took place and the revenues generated by the sports system exploded, there has been an exponential increase in the number of amateur athletes and investments in amateur sports, both on behalf of the public system and from private entities. The purpose of this article is to emphasize the importance of the dangers that the modern era brings to sports governance and management. Every year, the capacity of national and international actors to actively contribute to the financing of sport increases. However, every year, due to digitalization, new means of leisure appear, and the number of users of sports as a product decreases exponentially, despite the fact that the governance process is improving, benefiting from increasing resources, and sports organizations are giving up their autonomy.
