Sport and Society

Dear Colleagues,

It is clear that sport plays a fundamental role in today's society, providing multiple physical and psychological benefits. There is no doubt that it exerts an important influence on today's globalised society, promoting economic development in different geographical, cultural and political contexts. Sport is also a powerful tool for strengthening ties and boosting bilateral relations, as sport occupies a key place in many of today's cultures. This Topic aims to disseminate national or international research studies on issues related to sport and society, highlighting the relevance of such studies in addressing various aspects of society and thus contributing to a better understanding of it.
