A meeting of the National Platform for Sports Integrity and the Badminton Federation of Ukraine took place
In March, members of the National Platform for Sports Integrity met with representatives of the Badminton Federation of Ukraine at the Olympic House. The event was devoted to the development of fair sport and combating corruption in sports competitions.
The key topics discussed by experts from the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the NOC of Ukraine, and the Badminton Federation of Ukraine were the risks and problems of manipulation in national and international sports competitions, as well as the actions of the IOC and the NOC of Ukraine to prevent them.

Federation staff also shared their experience in implementing the best international practices in ensuring the integrity of sports, and representatives of the Sports Integrity Platform spoke in detail about the platform's activities and existing mechanisms for reporting manipulations.
The participants of the event agreed to cooperate in the future and hold joint information and educational events for the younger generation of badminton players.
"I am grateful to the participants for the fruitful discussion and willingness to continue working together in this area. Today, the National Platform is consistently implementing the provisions of the Macaulay Convention against the Manipulation of Sports Competitions, and such events are a great tool for turning ideas into real steps to clean up Ukrainian sport and support sports ethics," says Natalia Radchuk, Head of the Department for International Cooperation and European Integration at the Ministry of Youth and Sports and Head of the National Platform for Sports Integrity.
