global sports federations

Global sports federations are international organizations responsible for overseeing and regulating specific sports worldwide. They establish rules, organize competitions, and promote fair play and development within their sport. These federations coordinate with national governing bodies to ensure consistency, facilitate international events, and uphold standards. Examples include FIFA for soccer and FINA for swimming. By providing leadership and guidance, they help grow the sport globally, support athletes, and ensure the sport's integrity across different countries.
