Problem

Sporting events have become an important part of modern society, a way of bringing together people from all corners of the world in passionate support, promoting sporting achievements, promoting culture and encouraging economic development. However, with the growth in popularity, sporting events also bring new and complex security challenges. Organisers face the difficult task of ensuring security.

The author in the diploma thesis focused on sporting events with international participation, event registration, security and potential problems in security. The purpose of this diploma thesis was to research the legal framework and obligations required by the registration of a sporting event, whilst also highlighting the diverse risks and dangers that can occur at a sporting event.

Solution and Method

She studied laws and regulations to gain insight into the procedures and requirements for successful registration of a sporting event, and through reading literature she wanted to familiarise herself with the key problems and challenges in security. She was also interested in strategies for managing security risks.

Results

With the diploma thesis I wish to contribute to a better understanding and management of the security aspects of sporting events. Before the start of the event, the organiser must ensure that all standards and permits for registration are in order. The organiser is obliged to ensure the safe execution of the sporting event, and it is important to be well prepared preventively for potential incidents or unsporting behaviour of supporters.

Sometimes inappropriate behaviour occurs due to high adrenaline, and sometimes due to persons who come to events for the wrong reasons. Good preparation for security and good cooperation between all providers of security services enable the reduction of the probability of security threats. Preparation for security includes the composition of a good security plan and risk assessment.

She found that the field has not been extensively researched so far and that only a few authors deal with the question of security at sporting events and the effectiveness of different systems. The author in the diploma thesis reached several interesting conclusions and also provided various suggestions for further research.
