Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis and assessment of current problems and challenges faced by sports in Ukraine and the world, in connection with global crisis processes that lead to profound social changes. In recent years, the issue of sports safety in the world has become more relevant against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in Ukraine due to military operations on its territory. Thus, security protocols are gradually undergoing changes and actions to ensure security of various levels are adapted to modern conditions. Safety instructions for mass sports events of various levels, orders of specialized services and ministries of various countries regarding the organization of events on their territory, government resolutions and laws regulating the safety of athletes, spectators and sports facilities were analyzed. Globalization processes are rapidly changing, which requires quick solutions without losing their quality. The topic of sports safety has become more relevant in recent decades. Sport is a global phenomenon that unites representatives of all social groups and strata. Although the official slogan of the international sports movement, which is supported by all its members, is: "Sports outside of politics", but at the same time, it is a powerful means of political influence and manipulation. History has seen many boycotts driven by political decisions in response to wrongful or military actions by one party against another. Everyone remembers the terrorist attacks committed at the Olympic Games and other international competitions. All this led to the intensification of the development of research in the field of sports safety. At the same time, sports competitions, especially international ones, attract the attention of a large number of spectators, which causes the desire of world political leaders, public figures, representatives of culture and art, etc. to participate in them.The study showed that the process of adaptation and response is imperfect and requires careful study and analysis, which determines the relevance of the topic.
