the LAUREUS WORLD SPORTS ACADEMY

The Laureus World Sports Academy is a unique group of sporting legends, each of whom reached the very highest level of achievement and collectively created many of sport's most iconic moments.

Academy Members all share a belief in the power of sport to transform the lives of young people around the world, volunteering their time to support the important work of Laureus Sport for Good.

Each year, the Academy Members come together to vote for the winners of the Laureus World Sports Awards, and this endorsement from a group of sporting legends make the Awards the most prestigious in global sport.
