Home›Governing Bodies›All Governing BodiesBrowse ByAll Governing BodiesReference and ClassificationDevelopingThis category is the top-level index for the atlas's Governing Body entities: the federations, leagues and regulatory organizations that set the rules for a sport, sanction its competitions and oversee its athletes, such as an international sports federation or a national league office. Each entry covers a specific organization rather than the sport it governs, the athletes it oversees or the competitions it sanctions, which are filed under their own respective types elsewhere in the atlas.All Governing BodiesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)All Governing BodiesFilter Results123 entriesSport GovernedAllAlpine Skiing (3)American Football (1)Association Football (19)Athletics
