South Ossetia announced plans in 2014 to establish its own version of this governing body, which in Canada and Australia operates separately from each country's Commonwealth Games Association (unlike for the constituent countries of the United Kingdom). Which type of national sports organisation is being described?

Question

Accepted Answer

National Olympic Committee. The National Olympic Committee is the national-level umbrella body for Olympic sport that South Ossetia moved to establish in 2014, while Canada (together with Australia) maintains its NOC as a separate organisation from the Commonwealth Games Association, unlike the constituent countries of the UK.
