Sport Committee

The Sport Committee is elected during the Sport Assembly and plays a vital role in shaping the collaboration and vision of EBU Sport. Its purpose is to develop and disseminate best practices, share media knowledge, and provide expertise in key areas such as sports rights, production, news gathering, and distribution. Additionally, the Committee assists in steering the strategic direction of EBU Sport, ensuring that it remains innovative, relevant, and aligned with the needs of its Members.

The current Sport Committee was elected during the 37th EBU Sports Assembly in October 2025. This dedicated group of professionals will serve a two-year term, guiding and supporting the EBU Sport community until the autumn Sport Assembly of 2027. Their work will be instrumental in fostering collaboration, driving innovation, and achieving the collective goals of the EBU Sport network.
