Olympic Governance

Olympic governance refers to the systems and organizations responsible for overseeing the planning, organization, and regulation of the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is the main governing body, setting rules, selecting host cities, and ensuring fair play. Each Olympic sport has its own international federation that manages its specific competitions. National Olympic Committees (NOCs) coordinate activities within their countries. Governance involves establishing policies, maintaining integrity, and promoting the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, and respect. Effective governance ensures the Games are conducted transparently, ethically, and smoothly worldwide.
