This article examines the issues of standardizing sports terminology in the Uzbek language. The study investigates how sports terms
borrowed from English and Russian are used in Uzbek, their degree of variation, and possibilities for standardization. The results show

effectiveness supports the development of the Uzbek sports language. Practical recommendations for standardizing terminology are
provided
