Welcome to the National Sport Governing Body (NSGB) Hub!

​

A National Sport Governing Body (NSGB)  serves as the primary authority for a specific sport within a country, overseeing its administration, development, and promotion on a national level. To be recognized as an official NSGB, the organization must have a well-defined constitutional structure and demonstrate its capability to effectively manage and control its sport's environment.

​

Key Responsibilities of a Recognized NSGB:

​

• Sport Promotion: Actively promote and advocate for the growth and popularity of the sport.

• Regulation Management: Oversee and enforce the rules and regulations of the sport, ensuring adherence to global standards. This includes areas such as anti-doping measures, child protection policies, and ensuring equality within the sport.

• Strategic Planning: Develop a clear vision and strategic plan for the sport, outlining both local and international objectives and initiatives.

• Governance: Establish and maintain a robust governance framework that ensures the sport's integrity and transparency.

• Participation Growth: Undertake initiatives to increase participation at all levels, from grassroots to professional.

• Talent Development: Invest in the growth and development of all stakeholders, including coaches, athletes, officials, and other participants.

• Event Organization: Plan, organize, and host national and international competitions, ensuring they meet the highest standards.
