STATUS REPORT WC SPORT FEDERATIONS

NSRP Strategic objective 26: To contribute to improved Governance in sport through an alignment of the boundaries of provincial sports federations with geo-political boundaries Performance indicator: The number of NFs that have aligned the boundaries of their provincial sports federations with geo-political boundaries.

Sports federations must undertake a review of their statutes and make provision to accommodate the alignment of their boundaries with that of the geo-political boundaries

In order to eliminate unnecessary complication with the founding of a provincial [WC] federation, it is imperative that the correct procedures be followed. If in doubt, please refer to the relevant National Federation [NF] and the WCPSC. This must be your point of departure as there are many advisors that do not always follow the correct route. The NSRP must form the basis of this process.

The process of registration of WC Federations is moving painstakingly slow and very few that do apply, conform to the requirements. Reasons might be: 1Unwillingness to break with the “old” system; 2National Federations did not initiate this process from their side and as such many codes and federations are left in the cold; 3 Difference of opinion between the NF and PSC on the implementation of the process; 4 Change of management in codes and federations; 5 Forming of own regions/districts; 6 Constitutions that does not conform to basic principles and compliancy.
