During a seminar on good governance in sport, researchers invited national sports federations to discuss differences and similarities with an outset in the benchmarking tool, the National Sports Governance Observer.

At a seminar in Flanders, democracy, board competences and experiences with sports governance were discussed as a part of the NSGO project.

In a move to assess recent developments in international sports governance, Play the Game and KU Leuven follow up on the findings produced by the 2015 Sports Governance Observer.

Responding to massive interest from stakeholders around the world, Play the Game now opens up for including new partners to its cross-border benchmarking of national sports governance.

55 out of 58 national bodies for sport are now fully compliant with the requirements of a new Code for Sports Governance, according to UK Sport and Sport England.

Play the Game interviewed Arnout Geeraert on the new National Sports Governance Observer and the first results.

National sports federations in Europe have better governance than their international counterparts, but they still need more involvement with athletes and the surrounding society, a new survey shows.

The preliminary results of the National Sports Governance Observer will be revealed at Play the Game 2017, taking place in Eindhoven, 26-30 November. Hear about the project partners’ expectations of the outcome of the project in a series of video interviews.
