This study demonstrates the intercultural communicative competence of future physical education teachers. The role of sports in human culture has been studied, with intercultural communication promoting a humanistic worldview. A critical approach, based on theoretical, empirical, and statistical methods, was employed. The study population comprised third-year students specializing in “physical education and sports” at the Kazakh Academy of Sports and Tourism (n=240). Online surveys were conducted among Kazakh and Russian populations using Google Forms and analyzed using Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics. The levels of students in English (with a professional orientation), cultural intelligence, motivation to teach physical education, emotional intelligence, and tolerance were also studied. The results revealed a positive correlation between almost all the indicators studied. Therefore, a program was developed to improve the intercultural competence of future physical education teachers. The application of the program for one academic year had a positive effect on all the indicators studied, characterizing the overall level of intercultural competence of future physical education teachers.
