CEDE Sports is a sports-focused organization that mobilizes church networks and sports chaplains around the world by using the universal language of sports to support gospel-centered work. Founded in 1996, the group collaborates with thousands of churches and chaplains across more than 100 countries, reflecting its international reach. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, CEDE Sports operates within the spectator sports industry, and emphasizes its guiding principle, cede, as relinquishing control to promote reflection and success for others. The organization serves faith-based communities and affiliated chaplains, aiming to align sports activities with broader spiritual and community objectives. With a modest organizational footprint, CEDE Sports positions itself as a globally connected network facilitator rather than a traditional commercial sports entity. A recent development includes ongoing activity through its global partnerships and continued engagement with churches and chaplains, underscoring its continued international collaboration.
