Governance and Regulation in Sport 20 August 2026

Governance sits at the foundation of how sporting organisations operate, make decisions, manage responsibility, and build trust with their stakeholders. In this webinar, Adv. Marcia Davids explores governance and regulation in South African sport, drawing on her experience in sports law, administrative law, governance and arbitration. She considers the structures and principles that shape decision-making within sporting organisations, as well as some of the challenges that can arise when roles, powers, procedures and accountability are not clearly defined. The discussion looks at the relationship between governance, ethics, accountability, dispute resolution and organisational sustainability, while also considering the broader impact governance has on athletes, members, sponsors, communities and the sporting ecosystem. For anyone involved in sports administration, leadership, governance, legal affairs or organisational management, this session provides an opportunity to reflect on the systems behind sporting organisations and the role strong governance can play in supporting their long-term development. What do you believe is the biggest governance challenge facing sporting organisations today? #CEOsInSport #SportsGovernance #SouthAfricanSport #SportsLeadership #Governance #SportsLaw #SportsAdministration #SportManagement #Leadership #SportsDevelopment
