SPORTACCORD unveils new ‘DOTSPORT’ domain – sportaccord.sport

By Jenny Edmondson, Lausanne, Sept 12, 2018: SportAccord unveils today announced it has been awarded exclusive use of the ‘DotSport’ domain extension ‘sportaccord.sport’ following the successful launch of the new .sport digital ecosystem, managed and delivered by GAISF.
