The Sports Ministry of India has officially notified new rules under the National Sports Governance Act, 2025, aimed at enhancing the management and governance of sports bodies in the country. The newly established National Sports Board and National Sports Tribunal Rules for 2026 focus on increasing transparency, professionalism, and digital organization in sports administration. A significant innovation is the introduction of a dedicated online system that will facilitate the management of sports-related disputes, notices, and hearings digitally. This system will allow for the submission of various documents and enable virtual hearings, enhancing accessibility and efficiency. The National Sports Board will be tasked with recognizing National Sports Bodies and ensuring compliance with governance, financial, and ethical standards. Additionally, the newly formed National Sports Tribunal will specifically handle sports-related legal disputes, aiming to provide quicker resolutions and alleviate the burden on civil courts. To prevent conflicts of interest, members of the Board are prohibited from holding positions in any sports bodies during their term. The Board's financial accounts will undergo annual audits by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
