Risk can be defined as any threat that may adversely affect the achievement of the organization's goals. Risk is measured by its effect and likelihood of its occurrence. In sports we can see various aspects related to security and risk management. The purpose of the study is to track regulations related to risk management in sports. The methodology provides a theoretical and regulatory overview, including case law, in relation to the issues discussed at the level of Bulgaria and the European Union. The results analysed a number of regulatory documents, including recommendations and reports from various committees dealing with sport risk in a broad and narrow context, identified stakeholders and an indicative classification of the types of risks involved in sport. The conclusion provides guidance for the work on additional information and awareness programs on the risk of non-profit organizations from abusing them and providing them with awareness materials. Discussion through state regulations in the field of sport should ensure that non-profit organizations are more closely involved in national risk assessments.
