There is no single supranational detailed normative act yet.Objective: to analyze the existing national and international regulatory framework for the regulation of medical support for competitions with the subsequent formation of a general algorithm and uniform requirements.Materials and methods: analysis of literature data and personal experience.Results: The authors set out the general principles of organizing medical support for sports events based on an analysis of their own experience and recommendations of international organizations. The basic principles have been tested at a number of major sporting events and are practice-oriented. The preparation of the regulations should be based on the normative act of the international federation for the sport, adjusted taking into account national legislation and the scale of the sporting event being held and our own experience in holding such events.
