Summary/Abstract: Such notorious social phenomena as organized criminal groups, which are often associated in social consciousness with the terms of “gangsters”, “mafia”, etc., now are considered as one of the most dangerous for all mankind. At the same time, it is necessary to notice that there are some forms of organized criminal activity that are more hidden, completely inconspicuous on the face of it, so one of them is organized crime in sports. Sport now involves a huge number of people – athletes, coaches, fans all over the world. Enormous monetary and other material resources rotate in the field of sports. The prestige of the state, and indeed of individual groups of people or athletes, is now often determined by success in sports, achievements in individual competitions (that is proved recently by the final of Euro-2020). But this result can be achieved in other, dishonest ways. The authors tried to consider and systematize the illegal activities of organized crime in the sports and near-sports sphere, drawing the attention of society and law enforcement to this problem, to develop more effective means of combating organized crime.
