The relevance of the research topic lies in the growing role of the sports industry in the socio-economic development of the country. The sports industry, covering a wide range of activities, from organizing sports events to producing sports equipment, has a significant impact on employment, promoting a healthy lifestyle and increasing the tourist attractiveness of regions. Assessing the impact of the sports industry on the implementation of federal projects requires an integrated approach that takes into account both direct and indirect effects. Direct effects include creating new jobs, increasing tax revenues and developing sports infrastructure. Indirect effects are associated with improving public health, increasing labor productivity and creating a positive image of the country. An important aspect is the development of a system of indicators that will assess the effectiveness of sports projects and their contribution to achieving the goals of federal projects. Such a system should include indicators characterizing the economic, social and environmental effects of the development of the sports industry. The main objective of this article is to consider and study methodological approaches to assessing the impact of the sports industry on ensuring the implementation of federal projects. The article analyzes various methodological approaches used to assess the impact of the sports industry on the implementation of federal projects in the Russian Federation. The study covers such methods as econometric modeling, evaluation of private investment and public-private partnership mechanisms, socio-economic models, marketing strategies and evaluation of multiplier effects. These methods provide an opportunity to comprehensively analyze how the sports sector contributes to the implementation of national objectives and stimulates regional development. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that, despite certain methodological difficulties, these approaches provide important information on the role of the sports industry in strengthening the country's economic base and improving the standard of living of the population. Continued work on improving sports projects and methods for their evaluation will remain a key factor for the sustainable development of Russia in the future. The studied methodological approaches to assessing the impact of the sports industry on ensuring the implementation of federal projects contribute to the improvement of management and financing mechanisms in the field of sports. This will allow for a more efficient allocation of resources, directing them to priority areas that contribute to the achievement of the target indicators of national projects.
