sportszövetségeknél

A sportszövetség, often translated as sports federation or sports association, is a governing body for a specific sport at a national or international level. These organizations are responsible for the development, regulation, and promotion of their respective sports. They establish rules, organize competitions, and oversee training and development programs for athletes and coaches.

National sports federations are typically affiliated with their respective international federations. For example, a national football association is a member of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association). These federations play a crucial role in talent identification, athlete support, and ensuring fair play within the sport. They often work with government bodies and other stakeholders to secure funding and resources for sports development.

International sports federations, such as the IOC (International Olympic Committee) for the Olympic Games or individual sport federations like World Athletics, are responsible for global governance. They manage international championships, set international standards, and work to expand the reach of their sport worldwide. They also play a significant role in anti-doping efforts and promoting the values of sportsmanship and integrity. Membership in these federations is usually composed of national sports federations from different countries.
