Uniting the World to Build Safer Sport

Safe Sport Day brings together global stakeholders to champion evidence-led practice, elevate lived experience, and strengthen the safeguarding cultures that protect every participant in sport.

Join a global movement honoring the individuals and organisations committed to safeguarding in sport.

Why Safe Sport Day Matters?

Born in 2020 out of the International Safeguards for Children in Sport Initiative—designed to both celebrate progress and motivate new commitments to athlete protection.
Supported by major institutions like the IOC, CGF, and a network of 140+ organisations across 6 continents
Held annually on 8/8—a nod to the 8 International Safeguards—and strategically timed to coincide with peak global sports attention.

We’re shining a spotlight on the coaches, volunteers, policy‑makers, athletes, and safeguarding heroes who stand behind every safe sporting space.

From grassroots clubs to global federations, you make a difference.
