Abstract :
The sudden rise of coronavirus in the world had various effects on the sports industry. Nevertheless, sports organizations
around the world adopted new and different methods to manage the crisis, which in turn, enriched global knowledge of sports
management. Also, some industries changed their products and adapted their structure and performance according to the
new situation. The new Experiences gained during the pandemic showed that sports organizations need crisis management
programs to deal with crises in the future. So, it’s necessary to manage sports organizations with a different perspective and
new plans to encounter future needs and problems. To do this, sports managers must learn from the experiences of the
pandemic era and be prepared to predict the world in the future, and better manage their organizations.
