Spectator SportsGelderland, Netherlands501-1000 Employees
NOC*NSF is the Netherlands’ national umbrella organization for sport within the spectator sports sector. It is based in Arnhem, Gelderland, and operates as a mid-sized national body. The organization frames sport as a driver of societal benefits, linking athletic activity to the economy, health, social cohesion, national pride, and education. Its work seeks to advance these benefits by aligning sport with broader societal goals, including reductions in crime and disease and the creation of opportunities for the business sector. A recent development is the appointment of Ireen Wüst as chef de mission for the 2028 Olympic Summer Games in Los Angeles. Through coordination and representation, the organization engages with athletes, sport organizations, and the public to support these aims.
