Sportspersons' role in NSB unclear

The New Indian Express Vijayawada

May 27, 2026

AFTER notifying the National Sports Governance Act early this year, the Union government has notified the National Sports Governance Rules pertaining to National Sports Board (NSB) and National Sports Tribunal (NST) — the two legal arms of the sports ministry to settle dispute of various sports bodies, athletes and other stakeholders.

What seems interesting is that the gazette notification is silent on sportspersons holding office in any of the above bodies. Even the NSG Act does not throw enough light on sportspersons’ role in the board and says, “The Chairperson and the Members referred to in sub-section (1) shall be appointed by the Central Government from amongst persons of ability, integrity and standing who possesses special knowledge or practical experience in the field of public administration, sports governance, sports law and other related fields, on the recommendation of a search-cum-selection committee comprising of such number of persons, having wide experience in public administration, sports administration and recipients of national sports awards, as may be prescribed.”
