The author investigates geodesic flows of Liouville metrics on the torus \(T^n\) and of standard metrics on the sphere \(S^n\) (and their perturbations). These flows are integrable and it is assumed that first integrals are independent almost everywhere and their common level sets are compact. Thus, an associated singular foliation by Liouville tori appears. A germ of the foliation near a singular leaf is called a nonlocal singularity. The paper presents a topological description of nonlocal singularities for the considered geodesic flows.
