international federations

International federations are organizations that oversee and coordinate specific sports or activities across different countries. They establish rules, organize competitions, and promote the development of their sport worldwide. These federations act as central authorities ensuring consistency, fairness, and quality in international events. For example, FIFA governs international soccer, setting standards and organizing World Cup tournaments. They collaborate with national federations within each country, helping maintain a unified structure and fostering global growth of the sport or activity.
