About
A global ideal.
An Americas voice.
We bring a six-decade international mission into the distinct sporting communities of North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean.
One movement.
Shared responsibility.
Fair Play Americas is the Pan-American member of the International Fair Play Committee, the worldwide movement established in Paris in 1963 by UNESCO and international sports governing bodies to defend and promote fair play.
Established in Maryland in 2015, we extend that legacy through education, recognition, partnerships, and public engagement. Our mandate reaches every level of sport—from youth and collegiate participation to professional and Olympic competition—and every person or institution with the power to shape sporting culture.
We pursue a clear purpose: to help sport become a school of human excellence, where achievement and character advance together.
