CSCF - Sport Integrity Group

What CSCF - Sport Integrity Group does

CSCF Sport Integrity Group is a Netherlands-based organization founded in 2019 that provides independent advice, education, and operational assistance on sports integrity issues to athletes, sport governing bodies, law enforcement, judicial authorities, government organizations, and the betting industry. Its mission targets problems including match-fixing, corruption, doping, human rights violations, discrimination, hooliganism, racism, sexual abuse, weak governance, and under-reporting of wrongdoing ("omerta"). The group operates through two arms: the CSCF Foundation for Sport Integrity, which delivers educational programs, and CSCF & Partners Consulting, which provides advisory services.

The organization's product portfolio centers on EU-funded (Erasmus+) educational and training programs. Integriball and Integriball 2.0 focus on safeguarding young and female footballers from match-fixing, harassment, and bullying, using train-the-trainer models and pilot workshops, with the second iteration covering Estonia, Georgia, and Romania alongside UEFA. IntegriSport 3.0 delivers theoretical and practical training to law enforcement and judicial authorities on sports manipulation and esports crimes across Austria, Bulgaria, Estonia, Greece, Romania, and Spain. Additional initiatives include IntegriSport Next, Safeshred, and SAMBO. CSCF is not a technology company; there is no proprietary platform, software, or AI component, and delivery is human-led via conferences, workshops, webinars, and consulting engagements.

The business model is grant- and consulting-driven rather than commercial. Primary funding flows from European Union Erasmus+ programme grants, with secondary income from CSCF & Partners Consulting advisory engagements with sports organizations, governments, and law enforcement. GTM is community-led and event-driven: CSCF coordinates pan-European initiatives that convene stakeholders from governing bodies, law enforcement agencies, and intergovernmental organizations (including UEFA, Europol, Interpol, IOC, Council of Europe, and the European Commission). Documented outcomes include Romania deciding to sign and Spain ratifying the Council of Europe Macolin Convention on sports manipulation, and educational tools being integrated into national football licensing systems in Georgia and Estonia.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Genius Sports Integrity: Commercial sports data and integrity services provider offering monitoring, educational content, and fraud detection to leagues and federations. Competes with CSCF's training and education remit but from a for-profit technology-platform base.
• Sportradar Integrity Services: Commercial provider of sports integrity monitoring, betting fraud detection, and education services. Competes in the same integrity-services market as CSCF but via a technology-led platform model rather than grant-funded training.

Direct peers

• International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA): Global monitoring body for betting integrity that works with sports federations, regulators, and law enforcement on match-fixing detection and education. Highly comparable to CSCF's core match-fixing and education remit, with broader commercial betting-industry backing.
• Sport Resolutions: UK-based independent dispute resolution and integrity services provider for sport, offering advisory, education, and case management. Comparable to CSCF's consulting arm and similar in size and operating model.
• Tennis Integrity Unit: Specialist anti-corruption and integrity body for professional tennis. A direct functional analogue to CSCF's mandate but sport-specific (tennis vs. multi-sport) and established under the ATP/WTA/ITF umbrella.
• Play Fair Code (Austria): Direct peer explicitly named as country partner in CSCF's Integrisport 3.0 project. Austrian fair play initiative providing integrity training, education, and consulting to law enforcement and sport organizations in the same domain as CSCF.
• Sport Integrity Ireland: National statutory body providing sport integrity services in Ireland covering anti-doping, safeguarding, and match-fixing. Operates in the same policy-driven, multi-stakeholder framework as CSCF but at national rather than pan-European level.

Broad incumbents

• UEFA Integrity Unit: In-house integrity body of European football's governing body. UEFA is a supporting partner of CSCF's Integriball 2.0, indicating complementary rather than competing positioning, but UEFA also delivers integrity education directly to its member federations.
• International Centre for Sport Security (ICSS): Broader, more established sport security and integrity organization providing advisory, training, and policy support to international sports bodies and governments. Overlaps with CSCF's policy and consulting work but covers a wider integrity/security agenda.
• World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA): Global anti-doping regulator listed among CSCF's target stakeholders. Not a direct competitor (CSCF addresses doping as one of several integrity verticals), but the dominant institutional player in a sub-domain CSCF works within.
