Abstract
In Norway and Denmark a sports infrastructure has been established with considerable financial support from official authorities. These sports policies have meant that the number of sports facilities in the two countries is now among the highest in the world, and the range and geographical spread of facilities has given the population at large a greater opportunity to take part in sports. In the period of growth, organized sports had the privilege of influencing the standard of facilities and in many cases monopolizing their use, but in the 1990s, as participation in sport diversified, the issue of sports facilities became more controversial. Despite the relatively high number of sports installations in Scandinavia, the expansion in facilities has not kept pace with new sports movements and cultures. Many of the existing sports facilities are either outdated, mono-functional or built mainly for spectator sports.
