Sports Association

A sports association is an organization that oversees and promotes a specific sport or multiple sports within a region or nationally. These associations establish rules, organize competitions, and develop programs for athletes at all levels, from amateur to professional. They often work to enhance the sport's visibility, secure sponsorships, and support training programs. Examples include national federations for soccer, basketball, and athletics. Sports associations also play a crucial role in representing their sport in international events, such as the Olympics, and ensuring fair play and adherence to governing standards.
