The National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark (DIF) altogether comprises more than 100 different types of sports. This includes a number of federations which have joined together, and also national federations which have taken up new events and integrated them in their regular activities, e.g. street basket, beach volley, pool, snooker, aerobics, etc. Many of these are covered on the broad-reaching website.
Sport in Denmark is organised through a pyramid structure. At the top of the pyramid is DIF which handles tasks of common interest to all federations at the national level. The national federations primarily handle tasks within their own sports at national level. At regional level they are organised in district federations that are typically in charge of tournaments, competitions and education. Also at regional level are DIF’s county committees which handle the common interests of sport in relation to the county authorities, where especially the environment and physical planning are important issues.
At the municipal level the local associations of sports clubs act as an umbrella to the local sports clubs. The local associations of sports clubs look after the interests of local clubs in relation to municipal authorities, and typically they act as representatives of sport in the municipal committees of youth and adult education which allocate funds to local sport.
