Abstract
In today’s global society, migration processes have reached enormous proportions. Some migrants, due to various reasons, relocating from their countries of origin to recipient countries or moving between multiple countries, are referred to as transmigrants. This group rightfully includes sports legionnaires (foreign players) who sign contracts with sports clubs in different countries while remaining citizens of their home states and members of their national teams. This article analyzes the formation of multiple identity within this group, clarifies the components of the multiple identity they develop. The main purpose of this study is to identify the positive and negative contributions this group makes to the civilizational development of sports.
