The real story behind Switzerland's rise as the world's premier sport governance hub
Swiss SPORTS DIPLOMACY
There is one country in the world that, for better or for worse, is firmly associated with international sport governance. It comes to mind if you were to think about structures such as the International Olympic Committee or the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, but it also hosts countless other international federations for a myriad other sports, associations and organisations that play a very important role in the orderly functioning of sport globally. You would not get any prizes for guessing Switzerland here.
