Sport must be ready for digital storms
Published
The Norwegian Confederation of Sports has said that Norwegian sport today is a national digital infrastructure. It is used for volunteer work, physical activity and community across the whole country. That was the main message when the federation took up the topic.
The federation explained that many clubs, teams and volunteers use digital tools in their everyday work. Digital solutions help organise training sessions, matches and events. They also make it easier for people to sign up, find information and stay in touch with one another. For many local sports clubs, digital systems are now an important part of their operations.
The federation points out that this digital infrastructure must be secure and robust. Digital threats and technological changes can create problems for both the organisations and their members. It is therefore important that sport's digital solutions are looked after and updated over time.
It is still unclear which concrete measures the federation will put in place. But the message is clear: digital support has become a natural part of Norwegian sport, and it must be strengthened so that volunteering and community can continue to function in the future.
