Our Vision
At the Sports Law & Policy Centre, we believe in the power of sport to change lives. We are certain that with effective research, policy and law-making, we can reap the benefits of better, more balanced governance structures, systems, institutions and values to positively impact sport, and ultimately our society. We particularly recognise the unique challenges faced by sport stakeholders from the Global South, and aim to make our research and outreach inclusive and implementable. We are committed to keeping human rights, anti-discrimination practices, and the betterment of sport, at the core of our policy-based interventions.
