Problems of Formation Economic Basis for the Activities of Sports Organizations to Implement the Leading Functions of Legal Self Organization

The purpose of the study. The article is devoted to assessing the problems of formation economic basis for the activities of sports organizations to implement the leading functions of legal self-organization. Attention is drawn to the factors that predetermine the need for economic independence of sport, which can also act as a kind of reference test of the level of readiness to carry out self-organization in sport. It is noted that in addition to the actual sports competitions, there are many other segments around sports where points of tension and violations of competition rules arise (when selecting athletes, choosing a place for competitions, determining the territory for the construction of a stadium, purchasing sports equipment). It is clarified that in addition to budget funds, there are some additional sources of financing for sports: donations, various acts of donation and charity, sponsorship, grants. But more important is formation of motives and creation of models for the implementation of active, proactive activities of the sports organization itself, allowing it to obtain the necessary funds. Conclusions. The focus should be on aspects of the NPO's own legitimate activities to generate income necessary to carry out its main work. In this sense, the economic effects and level of commercialization of sports, questions about the amount of budget revenues, donations and other funds received from outside, as heteronomous factors, do not recede into the background, but, in any case, are not so significant.
