Abstract

This study aims to propose a sustainable, inclusive and applicable Sport for All model for Kazakhstan by drawing on TAFISA’s global Sport for All approach and Türkiye’s academic, institutional and practical experience in this field. The article is designed as a conceptual review and model proposal, using document analysis, institutional experience assessment and comparative policy analysis. It discusses the relationship of the Sport for All philosophy with quality of life, physical activity, public health, social participation and cultural sustainability. It also evaluates the international role of TAFISA, the practices of the Turkish Sport for All Federation and examples of academic cooperation between Türkiye and Kazakhstan. In particular, the ASES International Congress on Sport and Health Sciences and certified training seminars held at Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University on 6-9 April 2026 are considered as a concrete basis of cooperation for a model applicable in Kazakhstan. The main conclusion is that Kazakhstan’s Sport for All policy should be developed not only through competitive sport but also as a multi-stakeholder active living model that reaches all segments of society across the life span. The proposed model requires coordination among ministries, universities, local governments, sport federations, civil society organisations and international bodies.
