Abstract

The presence and popularity of sports can be witnessed at every level, from local, and regional to global. What often gets overlooked is the processes followed in terms of logistics and operations’ management to successfully conduct a sports event. In this chapter, a framework is presented to understand the central aspects of sports logistics management evaluating its characteristics, scope, and functions. Disruptions such as natural calamities, World Wars, riots, economic crisis, and disease outbreaks have shattered the entire sports community time and again and made the sports organizations rethink the future blueprint of sports logistics and operations. Breakthroughs in science and technology also posed challenges to sports logistics eventually leading to the growth of the global sports market. The logistics challenges’ post-disruptions at some of the popular sports events are contextualized, illustrated, and assessed using the proposed framework, thereby setting a template for further refinement and contemplation.
