Sports just like other cultural sub-systems is characterised with distinctive spatiality whose elements (athletes, sports clubs, organisations, sports events) are brought about through the relationships with their environments.
More and more issues are generated by the impact of speeding social and urbanisation development of sports culture.

Sport geography can enhance the competences of learners within the subjects of geography or PE. The cognitive contexts widen our knowledge regarding sports and geography. Articles, studies and on-line materials develop students’ map reading skills and abilities and support their understanding of the complex contents between sports and geography. The colourful and interesting world of sport geography may urge students and children to change their attitudes towards sports and scientific research.
