The Latvian Sports Federations Council (LSFC) is a non-governmental organisation located in Riga, Latvia. Since LSFC establishment in 1993, it has served as the umbrella body for recognised sports federations across the country.
Its main goal is to strengthen the capacity of sports organisations, certify sports professionals, and ensure equal access and support for various sports programmes. It also plays an important role in promoting physical activity and healthy lifestyles within society.
The organisation works closely with public authorities to contribute to the development and implementation of national sports policies. Its areas of focus include sport, education, youth engagement, social inclusion, and public policy. The organisation has significant experience in European cooperation, particularly within the Erasmus+ programme.
It has participated in several international projects aimed at promoting inclusion through sport, such as “CHANGE,” which focused on improving governance in sports organisations, and “We Play Together!” which supported the social inclusion of displaced youth. It also leads the coordination of the European Week of Sport in Latvia, encouraging people of all ages to be more active.
