About the project

Open Data for Sport Governance is an Erasmus+ project in the category of promoting and supporting good governance in sport, co-funded by the European Union, led by P1- the National Institute of Physical Education of Catalonia (INEFC, Barcelona, Spain) and carried out with the partnership of P2-Centre for the Law and Economics of Sport (CDES, France), P3-Lithuanian Union of Sports Federation (LUSF, Lithuania), P4-Organizzazione Per l’Educazione allo Sport (OPES, Italy), P5-SPORTMALTA (Malta), P6- Portuguese Institute of Sport & Youth (IPDJ, Portugal), and the P7- Olympic Committee Slovenia (Slovenia).

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the “good” governance has become a must when sports organisations are facing cases of corruption, doping, match fixing and mismanagement.

This project aims to create a governance and management software tool to analyse, compare and assist European sport organisations (ESO) to help them to be managed in a more efficient and transparent way.

The project tackles 5 gaps identified by ESO managers and the European Commission:

1. Practical Tool
2. Objective indicators
3. Integrated model
4. Transparency and Open Data
5. Risk Management

Erasmus + Project

Sport 2019 – 2022

To accomplish with the objectives, seven partners from seven EU countries develop three Intellectual Outputs:

Sport Governance Guidelines Tool: includes a State of The Art about ESO governance in the EU; a classification of the ESO; a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs); and a Methodology for the data collection and the Open Data disclose.
Sport Data Analysis & Modeling: This is a data collection, analysis and modelling based on the identified samples of the ESO.
Sport Governance assessment it Tool: This final Output is an Online Decision Support Tool based on statistical and open data evidences, offered to the wide community of ESO in EU.

In its first stage, OD4SG received the official support from more than 55 ESO (federations, associations, clubs) in EU, which will be involved in the project. In addition, the project aims at enlarging its impact beyond the seven involved partners and countries by transferring its results towards all the EU ESO.
