The Legislative Yuan has approved plans to establish a dedicated sports ministry.

 

The new ministry will create sports policies, promote the industry, and strengthen international ties through "sports diplomacy."

 

The proposal received bipartisan support, upgrading the Sports Administration under the Ministry of Education to a ministerial agency.

 

The ministry will also oversee the Sports Industry Development Center, the National Sports Training Center, and the Taiwan Institute of Sports Science.

 

The Executive Yuan began preparations last August, aiming to launch the ministry by August 2025, fulfilling a promise by President Lai Ching-te.
