American Decade of Sports Act

This bill would require the State Department to write a 5-year sports diplomacy strategy within 120 days, and a second one 5 years later, tied to major international sporting events hosted in the United States from 2024 to 2034, such as the World Cup and Olympics. The strategy must include plans to partner with host cities, athletes, businesses and community groups, and a plan to speed up and secure visas for athletes and visitors. The State Department's sports diplomacy division would be renamed the Office of Sports Diplomacy and assigned at least 3 additional full-time staff through 2034. The strategies would be posted publicly, and the State Department would report to Congress each year on progress until the end of 2034.
