Abstract: Abstract The governance and the funding of sport have been at the centre of debate and have remained an open issue in Hungary since the political and economic changes at the beginning of 1989–1990. In 2010, however, sport was declared to be one of the strategic branches of Hungarian society and economy, which brought a series of political actions resulting in several fundamental changes. The structure, the funding system and also the legal regulations were modified; and an unprecedented amount of funding was put into sport. Whether the changes would finally bring the long-awaited democratisation of sports and the societal integration into sports in Hungary and would initiate a process in which sport participation rates would increase remains the question of the implementation plans of the new legal and funding environment and shall be answered, but also measured, in due time.
