Summary/Abstract: Granting of sport from public resources has a long tradition in the Czech Republic as well as there are economic reasons for such financial support. The debate about problems of the system sport financing from public budgets is one of up-to-date subjects. Repeatedly is concluded that the Czech sport is under-financed hence current system should be changed. The system can be evaluated only if we know inputs (allocated resources) and output respectively outcomes of the sport policy. The condition of cognition of inputs seems to be trivial; however there are significant differences among available information resources including government documents as well as datasheet from the Czech statistical office and other data sources. Only if we are able to identify inputs we can suggest changes of the whole system of sport financing.
