This is a list of internationally-based sports unions, all of which serves as an unofficial governing body for a given sport and administers its sport on a world scale, often drafting rules in the sport, and promoting it to new fans and spectators or developing future players and organising continental or world championships. There are a few international sports federations such as FINA, the International Swimming Federation and the International Skating Union, may manage multiple sports that are referred to in general terms as separate sports. FINA regulates, for instance, swimming diving, synchronised swimming as separate "disciplines" within the single "sport" of Aquatics.
International sports federations make up an integral part of both the Olympic and Paralympic movements. Every Olympic activity is hosted by an international sports federation. They also helps to manage the events in its respective discipline during Games. For a sport to become an Olympic sport the international sports federation must be recognised as such by the International Olympic Committee.
Additionally, an international sports federation must be recognized through the International Paralympic Committee for its sport to become a paralympic sport, though it is the case that several Paralympic Sports are managed by a separate group of the International Paralympic Committee in its own right, under the World Para branding, for example , track and field. for athletes with disabilities is overseen by the IPC in its own designation "World Para Athletics". Other Paralympic sports are managed within the structure of the equivalent for the physically abled to paralympic cycling. For instance, the UCI governs both able-bodied and paralympic cycling.
