Public Ownership of Sports Clubs

Public ownership of sports clubs means that these clubs are owned and operated by government entities, such as local councils or national agencies, rather than private individuals or corporations. This approach often aims to promote community engagement, ensure accessibility, and support local development by using public funds. Publicly owned clubs may receive government funding, prioritize community interests over profit, and serve as a social asset for the community. However, they might also face challenges related to funding stability and managing public accountability.
