SportAccord is a global sports event organisation based in Lausanne, Switzerland, that is governed by stakeholders representing the Olympic and non-Olympic International Federations and has currently taken on some of the activities of the dissolved Global Association of International Sports Federations.[1]
SportAccord brings together International Federations and organisations involved in the business of sport with the aim to serve, promote and protect the common interests of its stakeholders, help them achieve their global objectives, and facilitate knowledge-sharing.
SportAccord’s flagship event is the annual SportAccord World Sport & Business Summit, which was originally launched in 2003.
In addition to the Summit, SportAccord hosts the annual International Federation (IF) Forum, a closed-to-the-public event offering targeted thematic sessions specifically designed for International Sport Federations.
Together with other events, SportAccord holds Multi-Sport Games, including the World Combat Games, World Mind Games, and World Urban Games which showcase both Olympic and non-Olympic sports and disciplines.[2][3]
SportAccord has taken on and manages the .sport domain and the sustainability.sport platform, previously owned by GAISF.[4]
