Our Ambassadors and Academy Members

Laureus World Sports Academy Members and Laureus Ambassadors are accomplished athletes who volunteer their time to support our mission. They truly believe in sport’s ability to change lives for the better. By attending our events, visiting programs and speaking to the press, they help bring new awareness to sport as a tool for social change.

More than 60 sporting legends make up the Laureus World Sports Academy, led by Chairman and rugby legend Sean Fitzpatrick. More than 200 champion athletes have also pledged as Laureus Ambassadors. They all share a belief in the power of sport to break down barriers, inspire change and improve the lives of young people around the world.
