sport governing bodies

Sport governing bodies are organizations responsible for overseeing and regulating specific sports on national or international levels. They establish rules, organize competitions, promote fair play, and ensure athlete safety. These bodies also develop standards for officiating and training, and often work to grow their sport and uphold its integrity. Examples include FIFA for soccer and the International Olympics Committee. They collaborate with clubs, athletes, and sponsors to maintain the sport’s standards and facilitate its global development. Essentially, they provide the structure and governance necessary for the sport to be played fairly and consistently worldwide.
