Print this article

More than 400 leaders from the Olympic Movement, governments, inter-governmental agencies and betting authorities and entities took part on 24 October 2025, both in person and online, in the 5th International Forum for Sports Integrity in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Organised by the International Olympic Committee, the Forum adopted the Universal Declaration on Sports Integrity, a new action-oriented commitment to strengthen the protection of integrity in sport.

The Universal Declaration on Sports Integrity, unanimously endorsed during the event, outlines responsibilities and concrete follow-up actions for key stakeholders across four priority areas:

  • promoting good governance and combating corruption in sport;
  • preventing competition manipulation;
  • integrity in officiating and the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI); and
  • safeguarding in sport.
