Abstract
Over the last decade, the field of sport-for-development (S4D) has received significant attention from both practitioners and academics around the world. Where at the beginning of the 21st century it was difficult to find projects that used sport as a strategic vehicle for positive social, health and economic change, the number of S4D initiatives that aim to make a difference in disadvantaged communities has since grown substantially. One explanation for this escalation is the strong political support for a ‘movement’ that combines sport associations, aid agencies, development bodies, sponsoring organisations and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) under a single umbrella.
