International Sports Federations

International Sports Federations (IFs) are organizations that oversee and govern specific sports on a global level. They establish rules, organize international competitions, and promote the development of their sport across countries. Each federation works with national sports bodies to ensure consistent standards and fair play worldwide. Examples include FIFA for soccer and FINA for swimming. These federations play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of their sports, helping athletes compete internationally, and representing their sport’s interests at global events like the Olympics.
