National Federations

National federations are organizations that govern and oversee specific sports within a country. They establish rules, organize competitions, and promote the sport at all levels, from amateur to professional. These federations also select national teams for international competitions and often work to develop talent and infrastructure. For example, a national soccer federation would manage the sport in its country, including leagues, coaching, and youth programs, ensuring the sport's growth and proper governance. Each federation operates independently but often collaborates with international bodies that set global standards for the sport.
