Article Post ⭐ 📄 What is the difference between a (sport) association and a federation? Both terms “sport association” and “sport federation” are often used interchangeably, but there can be differences in their meanings depending on the region and the specific sport. Sport Association: Definition: A sport association is a broad term that generally refers to an organization or entity involved in the promotion, regulation, and development of a particular sport at various levels. It may operate at the local, regional, national, or international level. Sport Federation: Definition: A sport federation is a type of sport organization that is often involved in the governance and administration of a particular sport at a national or international level. Sport federations are commonly associated with overseeing and coordinating the sport on a larger scale than local or regional associations. In summary, while both sport associations and sport federations are involved in the governance and development of sports, the terms are used differently in various contexts, and the specific roles and responsibilities can vary.
