Sport T-Index – Transparency in Sports Governance
About the Sport T-Index Project
Sport T-Index is an innovative international project funded under the Erasmus+ program (ERASMUS-SPORT-2022-SCP). Its primary goal is to raise transparency and good governance standards in sports organizations by developing and implementing an index that measures transparency in sport.
The project addresses growing challenges related to sports integrity, including corruption, match-fixing, doping, and lack of transparency in decision-making processes. Through a set of universal indicators, STI will assess and compare sports organizations – clubs, leagues, national associations, and international federations – in terms of their adherence to transparency and governance principles.
