Percentage of female directors in central sports organizations exceeds 30%, Japan Sports Association survey. Japan Sports Agency compiled the "Sports Organization Governance Code" in 2019, setting a goal of increasing the proportion of women on directors, who are significantly involved in decision-making of organizations, to 40% or more.
Only 22 organizations (approximately 17%) have achieved the 40% target set by the Japan Sport Agency. The absolute number of women in the organization itself is small, limiting the range of selection.
