International Sports Federation

An International Sports Federation (ISF) is an organization that oversees, regulates, and promotes a specific sport worldwide. It establishes rules, organizes international competitions, and ensures fair play across different countries. The federation collaborates with national governing bodies, sets standards for athlete participation, and helps develop the sport globally. Examples include FIFA for soccer and FIBA for basketball. These federations aim to unify the sport's practice and standards internationally, fostering competition, development, and the sport’s global growth.
