This work vindicates the public dimension of sports management, particularly in the context of studies carried out with higher education students in Sports Management at the Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa in Portugal. It is considered a valuable contribution to the in-depth analysis of the many challenges that exist in the society in which we live, combining themes that in an integrated way express a theoretical and practical reflection on current sports management. Among the main themes under analysis, we highlight phenomenology in sport; the maintenance and security of sports facilities; the comfort of sports facilities and the perception of urbanity in sport.
