This market is not studied as often as the residential, office or commercial real estate market segments, which is why it is worth paying more attention to it. The evolution of the approach to sport, followed by the investing and use of sports real estate as a valuable resource of high value, means that increasing attention is being paid to the sports real estate market. The research objective of the article is to analyse and identify key areas of sports facility management, which the success of events organized on such facilities depends on, as well as to examine the requirements for sports facilities. The research used a lot of source information on the scope and standards of sports facility management as well as good practices and recommendations in this area. The following research methods were used in the article: a method of critical analysis of the subject literature on both the real estate market andthe sports market, as well as a descriptive and comparative methods to identify the evolution of the main directions of sports property management in the real estate market.

  • 2018 World Cup in Russia 2018 World Cup in Russia
    Handbook For journalists covering the 2018 World Cup in Russia 2018 World Cup in Russia Editorial The other side of the World Cup in Russia When someone says that sport and politics are not affiliated, there is reason to be on guard. Among those who mention this lack of affiliation is the FIFA president, Gianni Infantino. Another is Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. Bjørn Engesland Norwegian Helsinki Committee It would be nice if sport took place in a secluded world, where power, conflict, money, cheating and crimes were non-existent. But history does not support such a perspective. During the Peloponnesian war, Sparta was expelled from the Olympics because the host city was in an alliance with the Spartans’ enemy, Athens. This happened in 424 BC. Little has changed since – politics and sports are still closely John Peder Egenæs connected. Amnesty International Norway Ask yourself why FIFA and Putin refuse to acknowledge this fact. The purpose of this manual is not to destroy enthusiasm about the world’s biggest sporting event, but to provide background, much of which is well-known to most. In addition, we give concrete tips about people and organisations who can come in handy for journalists looking for independent, local sources. Silje Ask Lundberg Naturvernforbundet Independent Russian activists and journalists operate at a risk, but at the same time they remain professional. In fact, cooperation with local journalists contributed to the Norwegian football magazine Josimar’s disclosure of slavery at the Zenit Arena in St. Petersburg. The expose gained great attention worldwide. The topics we are highlighting – such as human rights, corruption, racism, Gaute Eiterjord propaganda, environmental issues and persecution of LGBTIs (lesbian, gay, bisexual, Natur og Ungdom trans- and intersex persons) – make up some of the context surrounding the World Cup in Russia.
