International sports are those that involve teams from more than one country. The most well-known international sporting event is the Olympic Games, but there are many others, including FIFA World Cups and cricket matches. These events bring nations together and can even be used for peace.
The Olympics are the world’s premier multi-sport and multi-country sporting event, held every four years. A total of 43 sports are on the Olympic programme for the 2028 Games. They are governed by their own International Federations (IFs), which set the rules of their sport, oversee their technical aspects at the Olympic Games, develop their sport worldwide, and disseminate the values of Olympism through their activities.
Sadly, it is hard to ignore the inequality of opportunity in the world of international sport. For example, a recent study found that African athletes were more likely to die of heart-related causes compared with their European counterparts, who often had the support of entire medical teams and specialised computer analysis programmes. This inequality also extends to politics, with some athletes siding with authoritarian rulers.
