Morphology
The meaning 'a newspaper page about sports' is directly and compositionally derived from 'sports' (athletic events) + 'page' (a page in a publication). This topical noun–noun combination is a common, cross‑linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Sports page comes from old newspapers that set aside one page for stories about sports. People would turn to that page for scores and game news, so now the term means 'a page in a newspaper with sports articles'.
