"Sport can serve as a common good capable of promoting stronger integration in the Mediterranean region, much as coal and steel once did for Europe.
At the ICSS, we pledge our full support to the initiative of the EU Presidency of Cyprus to establish a Mediterranean Sport Council."
@massimontanarii, CEO of @The_ICSS, speaking at the #EUSportForum in Cyprus organized by @EuSport.

As part of their ongoing co-operation and co-ordination to ensure the highest standards of integrity in competitions and guarantee transparency and fair play for teams and players, the Qatar Stars League (QSL) and International Centre for Sport Security (ICSS) have reaffirmed their commitment towards integrity in Doha Bank Stars League matches.

Both entities collaborate to ensure integrity and transparency in competitions throughout the season, particularly in crucial rounds.

The final round (Week 22) of the season has become crucial in determining the league champions and final positions – be they the top-four finish or relegation to Second Division…

It may be noted that QSL and ICSS have a joint work programme in place based on promoting integrity and transparency. It included several workshops and training courses for those involved in professional football, with the participation of club company representatives, players and coaches.

"Honored to address @OAS_official #CICTE, @UNICRI & government officials from Canada, Mexico and the USA on security & legacy ahead of #FIFAWorldCup2026.
Security must always go hand in hand with service, sustainability and legacy. A major sporting event stretches the capacities of the hosting community — what we build must endure."

How is #Security guaranteed at a #FIFAWorldCup? ⚽🏆

This week, experts from Canada🇨🇦, the United States of America 🇺🇸, and Mexico 🇲🇽, co-organizers of @FIFAWorldCup, are meeting at the @OAS_Official headquarters to analyze their national security frameworks, identify common challenges, highlight opportunities for cooperation, and draw lessons learned to contribute to the development of a methodological guide for co-organizing major sporting events. This guide will serve as a reference document for other #OAS member states.

“AI can be the ally that helps us narrow the scope of investigations and find the proverbial needle in the haystack. However, it must be treated as a form of intelligence, with final judgment always requiring human validation and full respect for the rule of law. With a special thanks to Eid AlHajri - Director of Planning, Quality and Innovation @acta_qa_en , @ronanolaoire , @dale_l_sheehan , Stefano Barone and @CSegalen for unveiling the Guide with us at COSP11”

🌍 AI Meets Sport Integrity! 🤖🏅
At #COSP11 in Doha, the International Centre for Sport Security (ICSS) and Qatar’s Administrative Control and Transparency Authority (ACTA) launched the Guide on the Use of Artificial Intelligence on Anti-Corruption in Sport — the world’s first framework to harness #AI in protecting sport from corruption.
Developed with the support of @acta_qa_en and contributions from global integrity experts, the Guide explores how AI can detect, investigate and prevent match-fixing, financial frauds, and strengthen transparency across sport while upholding ethics and human rights.
