Ministry of sports

A ministry of sports or ministry of youth and sports is a kind of government ministry found in certain countries with responsibility for the regulation of sports, particularly those participated in by young people. It is led by the minister of sport (or sports minister).

The United States is one of the only countries in the world to have no ministry (department) of sports and provide no government funding for its National Olympic Committee.[1][2][3][4][5]
