The article is devoted to studying the role of physical culture and sports institutions in achieving national goals. The relevance of this article is due to the trend towards popularization of healthy lifestyle and physical education and sports, which is reflected in documents of strategic planning of the Russian Federation. The study aims to investigate the role of physical culture and sports institutions in achieving national goals. Materials and methods. The article uses general research methods. The sources used are legal and regulatory acts, statistical publications, as well as scientific research in the field of sports management. The article considers the main legal and regulatory acts, which set national development goals of Russia such as the Presidential Decree of 2 July 2020 № 474 (no longer valid) and the Presidential Decree of 7 May 2024 № 309, Presidential Message of 29 February 2024, as well as the sector strategy of the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation «Strategy-2030». Infrastructure provision of sports sector – sports clubs, swimming pools and sports grounds – has been investigated. Results of the study. The paper analyzed the changes in the number of sports facilities in Russia from 2000 to 2022 and in the number of physical culture and sports institutions, which have a tendency to decrease. It studied the dynamics of the number of people who practice sports in sports sections, the index of physical volume of paid services for the population, as well as the level of prices for sports goods and services in Russia. It was established that the number of physical education and sports organizations approved by the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation with the possibility of tax deduction is declining. Despite the reduction of organizations, there is an increase in the main indicators of achievement of national goals of the Russian Federation. The proportion of the population that is permanently engaged in physical culture and sport increases, as does the volume of paid services in the field of physical culture. The physical culture services have been largely unaffected by sanctions, as evidenced by the increase in the volume of paid services and the fact that prices are rising steadily below inflation. In terms of stimulating the population, the reduction of organizations listed by the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation is a negative trend, since tax deduction makes the acquisition of services of physical culture and sports organizations more attractive. The decline in the number of such organizations may indirectly affect the effectiveness of physical education. Despite the decline in the number of sports organizations, the physical volume of paid services for the population in the field of physical culture and sport has increased, as has the number of practitioners in sports sections. Conclusions. Physical culture and sports institutions play a key role in popularizing a healthy lifestyle, creating conditions for the physical development of citizens. The state actively supports the development of the industry, financing the construction of facilities and attracting private investment. Additionally, demand for services is stimulated by means of tax deduction for accredited institutions. Despite the decrease in the number of organizations under OKVED 93, the number of citizens regularly involved in sports is increasing. National goals and industry strategies are being implemented according to the plan.
