IPACS Sport Governance Benchmark & Guidelines – 50 Recommendations

On June 30, 2025, the Head of AP Sports Law, Alkis Papantoniou, in his capacity as Chair of the Ethics Committee of the Hellenic Equestrian Federation (HEF), participated in the Awareness and Information Workshop of IPACS (International Partnership Against Corruption in Sport), organized by the Council of Europe and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The international initiative IPACS brings together governments, sports organizations, NGOs, and key stakeholders with a shared mission:

  • To combat corruption in sport;

  • To promote good governance.

To support these goals, IPACS provides sports bodies with valuable tools, including a corruption risk management reporting system and a set of 50 Recommendations for Good Governance in Sport, based on five core principles:
Transparency – Integrity – Democracy – Development & Solidarity – Balance of Power.

The full set of recommendations, translated into Greek, is available at the following link:
