“…Prema tome, to nisu samo mjesta infrastrukture, već i društvenoga života, stoga ne čudi da sport u gradovima zaokuplja sve veću pažnju istraživača (npr. Wilcox i dr., 2003;Sam i Hughson, 2010;Schimmel, 2015;Bramham i Wagg, 2016;Koch, 2018;Latham i Layton, 2020). Usprkos brojim dodirnim točkama između geografije i sporta tek od 1980-ih proučavanje sporta biva integrirano u akademskim istraživanjima, a kao odgovor na "sportski boom" 1990-ih i 2000-ih sport je kao kulturni fenomen tek u novije vrijeme počeo izazivati pojačan interes geografa.…”

“…Accordingly, this is not simply infrastructure; this is a place with a social life. Therefore, sports in the cities are becoming a topic of increasing interest for researchers (see Wilcox et al, 2003;Sam and Hughson, 2010;Schimmel, 2015;Bramham and Wagg, 2016;Koch, 2018;Latham and Layton, 2020). Despite the many crossover points between geography and sports, the study of sports only became included in academic research in the 1980s.…”

This paper examines sports, cultural, historical, and urban geography to analyse hodonyms (names of streets and squares) and ergonyms (names of hospitality establishments) located in the proximity of sports centres. The research examines whether there is a link between the hodonyms and ergonyms associated with sports and the location of sports facilities. The starting point of this research was the assumption that spatial proximity influences the motivation for naming streets, squares, and hospitality establishments. Accordingly, this paper approaches the concept of sports in the urban landscape from a spatial aspect. Case studies were conducted in the two largest cities of the Republic of Croatia: the capital city Zagreb, and Split. The main methodological approach used in the analysis of data was statistical and interpretative. The research showed that there is a degree of association between hodonyms and ergonyms and the location of sports facilities. Sports transform and shape the urban landscape, not only the sports landscape (in the form of infrastructure), but also other parts of the city.

At the turn of the twentieth century, sports were occasional and unregulated events played by members of local sports clubs. By the latter half of the century, small hometown rivalries gave way to regional and international urban mega‐events produced for global television audiences. As has been the case since the rise of sport in an urban‐industrial context, ethnic assimilation, class conflict, control of urban space, and race and gender relations are now inseparable from the promotion of contemporary sports.
