The Parliamentary Alliance for Good Governance and Integrity in Sport brings together parliamentarians dedicated to enhancing sport governance and promoting human rights and inclusion within sports.
In addition to PACE members, the Alliance includes representatives from the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS), international sport organisations which have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Council of Europe (FIFA and UEFA) and civil society organisations.
Through round tables and publications, the Alliance enhances awareness amongst parliamentarians of governance and ethics-related issues in sport, policy recommendations to these questions, as well as existing Council of Europe standards. It also strengthens co-operation and dialogue between parliaments, governments and sports organisations, and ensures the voice of legislators is heard on other international platforms concerning sports governance and integrity.
The Alliance was founded in 2024, following the adoption of PACE Resolution 2199 (2018), “Towards a framework for modern sports governance”. It holds regular meetings, to which it invites athletes, researchers, and experts from sports federations, ministries and international organisations.
