The ASP2030

Overview
The Alliance Strategic Plan for the 2024-2030 period (ASP2030) is a defining moment for Member-States: a chance to strengthen the global legitimacy of WSA, to build world-class sports infrastructure, and to demonstrate commitment to youth, education, and sustainable development.

On the 22nd day of March, 2022, WSA entrusted the International Innovation Agency (IIA) with an exclusive restructuring mandate. This mandate lead to the creation of the ASP2030, a sustainable socio-economic model and a financial structure and mechanism for WSA to become financially independent and fully operational. It also called for the appointment of the IIA as a specialized agency of WSA and its transition into an international financial institution adapted to a new era, answering the call and the needs of Member-States.

With the Restructuring of WSA underway, the Restructuring Board and Transition Committee introduced the ASP2030 Implementation and Selection Procedures (ASP-ISP)—a clear, transparent, and ambitious framework to guide the implementation of Academies and the selection of the Host Country for the International Academy.

The ASP-ISP was designed with a dual mission:

1. Prepare for the implementation of Academies in the territories of Member-States.

2. Call for a vote to select the Host Country of the International Academy.

Academies
WSA Academies are facilities developed from the ground up on land provided at no cost by Member-States. They are scheduled to launch over a 5-year build-up phase, during which strategic partnerships with clubs, federations, sports movements, and corporate sponsors will be secured. Once operational, the network of Academies will become the primary talent gateway for every major sports organization, offering clubs and sports organizations unique access to the next generation of elite athletes, while ensuring student-athletes progress seamlessly from local development to international careers.

International Academy
The International Academy will directly oversee this network, introducing a breakthrough model that combines global competitions (WSA Games), world-class facilities (WSA Academies), fully funded scholarships (WSA Scholarships), and structured talent and career management (WSA Sports Agency) into a single ecosystem. This framework creates a sustainable, scalable, and self-funded ecosystem that advances both education and international sports development.

We anticipate for the International Academy to operate + 50 Academies and to have awarded +/- 25,000 scholarships by 2035 — making WSA Academies one of the largest education and sports talent agency in the world.  By directly managing Academies across Member-States, the International Academy will build a unified global pipeline of talent. Student-athletes will move seamlessly through a system that combines training, competition, and long-term career management.

Implementation
Execution of the ASP2030 will be entrusted to the Implementation Committee of the Alliance (ICA), a specialized body comprised of executives appointed jointly by WSA and the IIA. The mandate of the ICA will cover:

• Infrastructure & Procurement: Planning and construction of Academies.

• Project & Financial Management: Overseeing budgets and accredited suppliers.

• Human Resources: Staffing and capacity building.

Host Country Selection = Citizen Vote
Major international sporting organizations like FIFA and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) award hosting rights through competitive bidding processes and require governments to demonstrate significant financial and technical capacity. International organizations, meanwhile, often make important institutional decisions behind closed doors.

We chose a different path. We believe that the decision to select the host country of the International Academy and our Headquarters belongs to the people and that citizens should be the ones voting.

This marks a historic first: an international organization placing a major institutional decision directly in the hands of citizens worldwide. If you want to help bring this world-class centre for sport, education, innovation, and international cooperation to your country, become a United Citizen and cast your vote!

Funding

• The ASP2030 will be funded through the ASP2030 Fund (ASP30F). The proceeds of the ASP30F will come from the NK5 Global Rights (NGR), contributions from private donors and companies and an innovative ecosystem of Sustainable Development Goals Projects (SDG VENTURES) build by members of the United Citizens on the NK5 Chain in partnership with the IIA —not Member-States.
  
  

  

  
  

• A unique and rare opportunity exists for any individual or organization to support youth and establish a legacy by acquiring the NK5 Global Rights (NGR), granting the owner perpetual and tradable rights to name all Academies, Games, Programs, and Scholarships of WSA.

A Milestone for WSA

The ASP2030 and its Implementation and Selection Procedures set a new standard for transparency, public participation, and strategic vision. For Ministers, this is a call to action: mobilize national institutions, engage with citizens and athletes during the WSA Host Country Campaign, call for your citizens to vote and seize the opportunity to host the International Academy and shape its legacy.
