Sports clubs are the original organizational structure of modern sports and, together with federations, foundations and other sports associations, form the so-called the third sports sector.. This non-profit sector needs a stop on the way to analyze and reflect on its present and future. That is why the content of this edition entitled “Problems and Challenges of Sports Clubs” results from open participation in the most important issues that they have to undertake.

The subject to be analyzed stems from the proposals received from the questionnaire that was sent to all Galician clubs through the General Secretariat for Sports at the beginning of this year.
