      abstract = {There has been a hotspot in sports industry these days  that is becoming more and more wide-spread in sports  organizations and among managers, namely CSR, that is  corporate social responsibility. In the life of  geographical regions, towns or villages, professional  football clubs play a crucial role. Consequently, clubs  tend to take responsibility for these communities in return  for their support: whether it is the local population or  the authorities, other businesses or the environment, they  are ready to stand up for good causes. Nowadays sports  centres with their regular events have a significant effect  on the environment either regionally or globally. That is  the reason why it has become vital in the management of  sports facilities to respect environmental principles when  designing and using sports facilities and to avoid  producing pollution that could harm and deteriorate the  environment. The aim of our study was on the one hand, to  present the definitional and theoretical evolution of CSR,  than the CSR concept in sport, special regard to  environmental protection. On the other hand, to analyze  what kind of CSR related issues do football clubs (Real  Madrid C. F. – RM, Borussia Dortmund – BVB) and how they  are addressing issues of environmental sustainability in  the context of CSR. According to RM and BVB, we can say  that they really try to do efforts to responsible behavior  and environmental protection. They have special respect for  the society and took big step to use different  environmental management tools. It was easy to find  information, reports and case studies about these  activities.},
