Safe Sport26 Partners & Supporters

SafeSport26 was made possible through collaboration between organisations committed to strengthening safeguarding, athlete safety and international cooperation across sport.

Delivered through collaboration

SafeSport26 was organised and led by Safe Sport International, the Sport for Social Change Network Africa and the African Union Sports Council, and hosted by the University of Cape Town.

Together with international, regional and South African partners and supporters, these organisations helped bring global expertise, African leadership, research and real-world safeguarding practice together in Cape Town.

Their involvement enabled SafeSport26 to connect people and perspectives from across policy, sport, academia, civil society and safeguarding practice.

Our Supporters

We are grateful to the organisations whose support helped make SafeSport26 possible.

Their contribution supported an international environment for research exchange, dialogue, collaboration and shared learning and helped strengthen participation from across the global safeguarding community.

Thank you

Safe Sport International thanks every organisation that contributed to SafeSport26.

The conference demonstrated one of the central principles behind our work: meaningful progress in safeguarding cannot be achieved by any one organisation, sector or region alone.

It requires collaboration, shared responsibility and continued action.
