federal sports associations

Federal sports associations are organizations that oversee and regulate specific sports at the national level within a country. They are responsible for promoting the sport, organizing competitions, developing athletes, and ensuring that the sport adheres to rules and standards. These associations often work with international governing bodies and may handle matters such as funding, training programs, and advocacy for athletes. Essentially, they aim to enhance the sport's profile, facilitate participation, and ensure fair play at all levels, from grassroots to elite competitions.
