If you’re a national governing body and are considering making a recognition application, you should: Recognition doesn’t bestow any official powers on an NGB to govern its sport. Sports council recognition of an NGB is not a guarantee of funding and neither does it mean we've approved or accredited the quality of its programmes. Our recognition criteria focus on establishing if a NGB has achieved a position of pre-eminence within its sport and if it has a reasonable level of organisation and governance. The aim of the recognition process is to identify a single lead NGB structure which governs a sport at UK, GB or home country level. It’s not the role of the sports councils to establish or appoint an NGB as they’re typically independent, self-appointed organisations that govern their sports through the common consent of their sport. When deciding whether to recognise a sport, the sports councils look to see if it meets the Council of Europe’s European Sports Charter 1993 definition of sport, and whether it’s well established and organised within our jurisdiction. However, we operate the recognition process to establish which sports we may consider working with. There’re many different opinions as to what constitutes a sporting activity and the sports councils don’t have their own definition of sport. The sports councils don’t decide what is and what isn’t a sport. ![]()
