sportvilágnak

Sportvilágnak is a Hungarian term that refers to the world of sport—the interconnected system of athletes, teams, leagues, governing bodies, sponsors, media, venues, and fans. The concept encompasses both the practical aspects of competition and participation and the broader social, economic, and cultural environment in which sport operates. Its scope includes professional sports, amateur and youth sport, and recreational activity, as well as the institutions, rules, and norms that govern competition, safety, ethics, anti-doping, and governance. The term also covers the infrastructure that supports sport—broadcasting, sponsorship, merchandising, and facilities—and the communities built around events and teams.

In Hungarian discourse, sportvilágnak is used to discuss how sport affects economies, identities, and social life, and how policy and management shape performance, participation, inclusion, and integrity. Scholars in fields such as sports economics, sociology of sport, and sport management study its dynamics and impact, while policymakers consider sport-related programs for education, health, and civic engagement. It is not a formal institution or single global authority; rather, it is a descriptive umbrella term for a complex, multilevel system that operates across national borders and local contexts.
