Welcome to the world of .Sport !

The DotSport® Consortium intends to run the generic top level domain (gTLD) .sport of the Domain Name System of the Internet. We will work towards having .sport included in the root zone according to the rules set forth by ICANN and be delegated the management of this gTLD.

While current gTLDs tend to focus on a vertical groups (e.g. commercial entities, network providers, organisations, museums, cooperatives, etc.) or regional groups within the global Internet, .sport will embrace a horizontal perspective, with a clear brand to reach and enrich the broad global community. Unlike country code TLDs also, which target a local audience, .sport will allow the user to express a international community relevance.

The sports community is large and global. It ranges from top international associations to millions of large and small sports clubs all over the world. Sports is also a large industry, ranging from sporting equipment to media groups.  The .sport domain can be naturally used by individuals, businesses, organisations as well as community groups,  promoting a diverse and dynamic community within the .sport namespace.

“Sport” is also a word used in many languages. When we looked at the Wikipedia page on sport, we noticed that 26 languages used the exact word «sport» in Roman script. So, unlike other top level domains which are mostly meaningful in the English language,.sport aims at reaching across borders, cultures and languages, true to the values of the sports community.  In fact, more than 1.4 billion people use the word "sport" daily.
