SportAccord<\/a> is proud to share a new report from long-standing partner Marsh<\/a>, furthering the dialogue initiated at the 2024 edition of the International Federation (IF) Forum<\/a>. The piece focuses on strategy, governance, and risk, three critical pillars for International Federations seeking to build long-term resilience and future readiness.<\/p>\n

The report, developed in collaboration with Oliver Wyman<\/a>, a business of Marsh McLennan, builds on Marsh\u2019s high-level contribution to the IF Forum 2024 in Lausanne, where they presented insights on how federations can become both match fit and future-ready, the official theme of the event.<\/p>\n

Why this report matters now<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the global sports landscape continues to evolve, International Federations face mounting complexity. Technological disruption, stakeholder pressure, climate imperatives, and reputational risk are all reshaping how sport is governed and delivered.<\/p>\n

Marsh\u2019s report responds to this challenge with practical, expert-driven guidance tailored to the specific realities of federations. It goes beyond high-level theory and offers clear frameworks to help sport leaders navigate uncertainty with confidence and focus.<\/p>\n

A partnership rooted in purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marsh has supported the IF Forum for the past few years, bringing deep expertise in insurance broking, governance, and risk strategy to the global sport ecosystem. Through its Global Sport & Events Practice<\/a>, Marsh supports federations and event organisers with customised solutions designed to build resilience and reduce exposure.<\/p>\n

SportAccord works with partners like Marsh not only to enrich its events, but to amplify relevant insight across the wider International Federation community. This report reflects a shared commitment to future readiness, one that aligns with SportAccord\u2019s broader mission of supporting progress in international sport.<\/p>\n
