The sport.coop visionThe people behind sport
The people behind sport
should share in its future.
Sport brings people together. A cooperative approach can help that connection create lasting value for the communities behind it.
sport.coop brings together a vision for stronger clubs, more visible players, community media and partnerships that support grassroots development.
We are developing the network and its country plans. Each sport community will have its own .coop domain.
