June 11 – The Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA) has announced its new Sport Integrity Awards to showcase the achievements of global and regional leaders in sport integrity.
Award categories include Outstanding Individual Achievement, as well as Organisational Achievement. There will also be a People’s Choice Award, a Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as a Special Recognition Award for global business entities (eg sponsors and broadcasters) that have made relevant contributions to advance Sport Integrity.
Nominations will open during the SIGA Sport Integrity Week, taking place between 07 to 11 September 2020, and will be open up until November 31, 2020. The awards will be decided by an independent jury.
“The Awards will raise awareness of the highest standards and best practice in the fields of Good Governance in Sport, Financial Integrity in Sport, Sports Betting Integrity and Youth Development & Child Protection in Sport, in line with SIGA’s core areas,” said the integrity body.
The SIGA Sport Integrity Awards Ceremony will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, on Thursday, 30 January 2021 on the eve of SIGA’s fourth anniversary.
Franco Frattini, Chairman of SIGA, said: “The SIGA Sport Integrity Awards are a beacon for those going above and beyond the industry standards of today. By showcasing their examples, it will not only place these individual and organisational integrity champions into the limelight, as they much deserve, but also help galvanise our collective efforts and push the global integrity boundaries to new, unprecedented levels.”
This is the 26th in a set of 30 boosting measures as part of the integrity body’s global campaign #SIGASTRIVES.
