Body type sorts sport organizations by the kind of authority each one holds, such as a world federation, a continental confederation or a national association. Wikipedia describes FIFA as "an international self-regulatory governing body of association football, beach soccer, and futsal." This dimension separates a global rule-making body from a domestic league operator.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sits between a world sport federation and a national one in this atlas?
Continental Sport Confederations, the regional tier between a world federation and a single country's own federation.
Continental Sport Confederations covers the regional tier between a world federation and a national one, covering the six continental confederations that govern association football across Asia, Africa, North and Central America and the Caribbean, South America, Oceania and Europe. Any body coordinating one sport across a continent or region belongs here, distinct from the world federation itself and from a single country's federation.
