This study aims to examine the application of the sociology of sport concept in maintaining a conducive match environment. The research method used is descriptive qualitative through literature review and observation of sporting events. The results indicate that the application of the values ​​of solidarity, sportsmanship, social control, social communication, and social integration can create a more conducive match environment. Furthermore, the roles of the organizing committee, referees, coaches, athletes, and supporters significantly influence the successful application of the sociology of sport concept in matches.
