About the .SPORT domain

What is the .SPORT domain?

The .sport is the official generic top-level domain (gTLD) of the worldwide sports movement, launched in 2018 under the initial administration of GAISF (Global Association of International Sports Federations), formerly known as SportAccord. Following GAISF's dissolution on September 14, 2023, management of the domain — along with other platforms such as sustainability.sport — was transferred to SportAccord, which has acted as the extension's administrative contact since July of that same year.

To register and renew a .sport domain, the applicant must be an individual or legal entity with a genuine nexus to the .SPORT community, both at the time of registration and on an ongoing basis afterward. Eligible registrants include recognized performers, organizers, promoters, or supporters of federated sport, as well as other registrant categories approved by the extension's Policy Advisory Board (PAB), which includes clubs, trainers, support staff, sporting events, and sport governing bodies. Registration takes place through the official join.sport platform, where any legitimate, verifiable actor in the sports industry can apply to join the .SPORT community.
