Summary/Abstract: Today’s world is increasingly more dealing with a constant problem of finance and financial aspects whether it is the functioning of a state, company, household, sport club or an individual. After the outbreak of the world and financial and economic crisis, economic decision-making gets more and more to the forefront and all of the economic subjects mentioned above will think twice before they invest their money in some effort. The same goes for sport itself. In the Czech Republic sport receives money from three sources – from the state, from the sports club and ultimately also from households themselves. The state contributes a certain percentage of the state budget to the development of Youth and sports in the country each year, however this number is far from covering all the expenses that are necessary to provide for the needs and functioning the sport. The second source are the club owners who attract sponsors and other entities which provide financial assistance. Money can be obtained from sponsorships, advertising, TV rights etc.
