Here is a list of internationally-based sports unions, each of which serves as an non-governmental governing body in a given sport and administers the sport on a global scale, often drafting rules for the sport, promoting it to fans and prospective spectators and players who are aspiring to become as well as organising world or continental championships. Some international sports federations, such as FINA, the International Swimming Federation and the International Skating Union, may oversee multiple activities referred to by the term "separate" sports: FINA has, for instance, the power to regulate swimming diving, synchronised and diving and water polo, as distinct "disciplines" within the single "sport" of Aquatics.
International sports federations are an integral component of the Olympic and Paralympic movements. Each Olympic sport is represented by its respective international sports federation. They assists in coordinating the events of its sports during Games. In order for a sport to be recognized as an Olympic sport, its international sports federation must be recognized as such by the International Olympic Committee.
Also, an international sporting federation must be recognized as such by the International Paralympic Committee for its sport to be paralympic. However, in this case, many Paralympic Sports are overseen by a separate panel of International Paralympic Committee which is with the World Para branding, for example , track and field. for disabled athletes is governed by the IPC and its designation "World Para Athletics". Other Paralympic sports are governed within the structure of the able-bodied counterpart like the UCI regulates both able and paralympic cycling.
