Abstract: Abstract This chapter aims to shed some light onto how the complex sport system in Mexico is structured. Along the following lines, the main stakeholders in Mexico’s sporting life are described together with their responsibilities and their interaction. A short historical summary explains the necessity for organized sports in Mexico. Then an in-depth description of the government branch responsible for national physical activity and sport is presented, followed by a comprehensive diagram of the Mexican sport system. The text also reviews the financing of sports and sport policy in the country. Moreover, the different programs that foster sport participation in the country, from sport for all to high performance, are contrasted against the obesity levels in the population. Finally, rates of the most practiced and most popular sports in the country are described.
