Information

The .sport domain is a proposed new top-level domain (gTLD) in the new gTLD program of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The name .sport signifies the world of sports, making it an ideal choice for organizations, individuals, and businesses involved in various sports activities. SportAccord, a community application supported by the International Olympic Committee, has applied for this domain. The applicant aims to create a platform that caters specifically to recognized performers, organizers, promoters, or supporters of federated sports. This community includes international sports federations and the International Olympic Committee.

Restrictions

The acquisition of the .sport domain comes with certain restrictions. SportAccord, as the community applicant, has established a Policy Advisory Board (PAB) to oversee registrants. Eligible registrants must be recognized performers, organizers, promoters, or supporters of federated sports or belong to categories recognized by the PAB. The International Olympic Committee has previously advocated for universal protections for its trademarks across all new gTLDs. Additionally, there have been disputes regarding the similarity between .sport and .sports. SportAccord won a String Confusion Objection against Famous Four Media, who had also applied for the .sports domain. The International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) ruled in favor of SportAccord, stating that the words "sport" and "sports" are confusingly similar due to the collective noun nature of the term "sport." This decision forced Famous Four Media out of contention for the .sports domain but did not prevent them from attempting other avenues to secure the string. Therefore, potential buyers must ensure they meet the eligibility requirements set by SportAccord and the ICANN guidelines for the .sport domain. There are no restrictions on owning this domain beyond these prerequisites.
