        abstract = {The rapid growth of information and communication technology (ICT) has fundamentally transformed sports management. Conventional sports management systems are fragmented, addressing isolated functions such as event scheduling, athlete registration, or results management without a comprehensive integrated solution. This paper presents SportsSphere, a centralized web-based sports management platform that unifies athlete profile management, event discovery and registration, performance evaluation, and opportunity recommendation within a single cohesive system. The platform employs a modular, layered architecture comprising a React-based frontend, a Node.js and Express-powered backend, a relational database management layer, and a dedicated recommendation engine. The performance evaluation module applies a quantitative weighted scoring algorithm incorporating win rate, participation frequency, consistency, and recent performance metrics to generate objective, reproducible athlete assessments. The opportunity recommendation module leverages profile-matching algorithms to surface relevant government schemes, scholarships, and sporting events based on individual athlete profiles and performance scores. Results demonstrate that the integrated, data-driven approach substantially reduces administrative overhead, improves athlete engagement, and enhances access to available opportunities. SportsSphere offers a scalable foundation for digital sports management with potential for future integration of machine learning and real-time analytics.},
