A National Governing Body (NGB) is an organization responsible for overseeing a specific sport or activity within a country. NGBs manage various aspects, including setting rules, organizing competitions, and promoting participation at all levels. They often work to develop talent and ensure that the sport adheres to international standards. NGBs also play a crucial role in representing their sport in front of government bodies and other stakeholders. They may collaborate with organizations like the International Olympic Committee or national sports councils to secure funding and support for athletes and events, helping to grow the sport's popularity and accessibility.
