The IOC Sport Administrators Course (IOC SAC) came to a successful close on 3 November 2025, marking the end of a five-week learning journey for 23 participants from Singapore’s sporting community.

Organised by the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) with support from Olympic Solidarity, the course aims to equip sports administrators with the skills and knowledge to manage and grow their organisations effectively in today’s evolving sporting landscape.

Learning Across Eight Key Areas

Through eight interactive modules, participants gained insights into a wide range of topics that form the backbone of good sports governance and management. The modules covered:

• Foundations of Sports Administration
• Olympic Education & Values in Development
• Good Governance, Compliance, and Legal Duties
• Safe Sport and Child Protection
• Strategic Planning and Grassroots Development
• Event and Programme Management
• Stakeholder Engagement and Financial Management
• Marketing and Broadcasting

The highlight of the course was the Capstone Project, where participants put their learning into practice by developing strategic proposals tailored to real-world challenges faced by sport organisations.

A Diverse and Engaged Group

The 2025 intake brought together officials and staff from National Sports Associations (NSAs) and public agencies involved in sport development. The group comprised 12 men and 11 women, reflecting the growing diversity of leadership in Singapore sport.

Looking Ahead

SNOC will announce details of the next IOC Sport Administrators Course once confirmed. Those interested in strengthening their skills and contributing to the continued growth of sport in Singapore are encouraged to keep an eye out for the next intake.
