Sport, as a public service, is vital for local communities and their public authorities should be aware of their primary responsibility to create and maintain conditions for the development of sport in their territory. Sport is an integral part of local cultural activities and it is therefore vital that local authorities have an active and comprehensive view of the importance of integrating sport into local politics in eneral. However, the development of modern sports significantly depends on the type, growth and increase of sources of funding for sports, where the budgets of local communities (cities and municipalities) are of great importance in European countries. In his paper, the author analyzes the role of local communities in the field of sports in European countries and the general framework for financing sports from their budgets.
