Countries around the world have their own sports policies, depending on their political structures, historical backgrounds, economies, and sporting culture. This research targets five countries—the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Japan—to overview their sports policies.
Researching the current trends of sports policies in various countries will lead to the formulation of better sports policies. This overview chart, which was originally made by the SSF at the request of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), was first made in 2011. The SSF has continued the research since then and has updated the chart several times over a decade.
The 2023 list is available here.
Conducting a series of research and surveys to generate evidence to promote Sport for All, and to realize a Sport for Everyone society is fundamental for the SSF as a thinktank. The SSF is looking forward to discovering new and innovative concepts and projects from around the globe.
