With the entry into force of the Sports Act on 1 April 2000, the previous "Office for Youth and Sports" was renamed "Sports Office". It supports the Government in all questions and areas relating to sports. In order to administer ongoing affairs, the Government can make the Sports Commission available to work together with the Sports Office. The Sports Office is the administrative office of the Government Sports Commission and, in this role, is responsible for implementing the "Youth + Sport" program. In addition, it supports the Elite Sports Committee as a communications partner and contact point for clubs and athletes. The Sports Office reports to the Ministry of Sport and holds an ex officio seat in the Sports Commission. As the administrative office of the Sports Commission, and in close cooperation with the Commission, it is an important communications partner for sports under public law.
