Given this massive disruption on society as we know it, the main purpose of this Handbook is to explore the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the multitude of sport stakeholders and the varying consequences of the sport shutdown on all levels of society. How the key professional and community sport organizations and stakeholders reacted and managed the initial part of this crisis is highly important from a knowledge management perspective. Second, the book will examine the “way out” for these stakeholders and how they may attempt to operate under a “new normal.” Here, the express aim is to learn the many lessons that have emerged and to be prepared for the next phase of COVID-19 as well as future pandemics and other challenges of similar size and significance.
