May 7 – The Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA) has issued a call to the world’s youth to “rise up and drive change” within the sporting industry.
SIGA, and their partners, will provide a range of interactive opportunities to young people from around the world to directly influence decision-making at all levels of sport including the creation of a platform for the young people involved to define and drive agendas across global sport and the wider industry.
The project will include specific Youth Engagements, such as contributions to webinars and thought leadership events, together with providing participating young people the opportunity to create their own initiatives in collaboration with SIGA and partners.
Insideworldfootball is a ‘Committed Supporter’ of SIGA and the initiative will include the opportunity to contribute to the integrity section of the website as well as the upcoming Sports Integrity Bulletin.
Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros, CEO of SIGA and Chairman and CEO of SIGA AMERICA, said:“The future of Sport cannot be dictated by old mentalities. We need a new culture with integrity as its cornerstone, ushered in by young people and emerging, visionary leaders. This is SIGA’s objective and genuine commitment: to empower young people and provide them with the means and opportunities to enable them to be the agents of change they want to see in the world of sport. We invite the global youth to be the protagonists of their own future and lead sport into a new, dynamic era.”
Young people, aged 16-30, wishing to be directly involved in sport, looking for a career in the wider sport industry and wanting to become involved in SIGAs’ #TakeCharge initiative, are invited to contact SIGA at moc.t1714065621rops-1714065621agis@1714065621smmoc1714065621.
