SINADE

The National System of Physical Culture and Sports (Sistema Nacional de Cultura Física y Deporte) is a collegiate body which both represents and governs CONADE. SINADE's purpose is to direct, control and accomplish the goals established by the government and CONADE. They are represented in a Directive Council (Collegiate Body).

Financing

One of CONADE's goals is to fund athletes both for support and training so that the athletes are better able to dedicate themselves to training.

Due to current political shifts, there have been some issues with differed funding to particular areas with a higher regard for the directors. There was an increase of 1,434% of the advertising budget, which equals 13% of the total budget assigned . This 13% is commonly assigned to the main television companies deeply linked with the political party of the current president of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto. There has been previous discussion about the incompetence of the CONADE director Alfredo Castillo Cervantez who was also director of the police in Estado de Mexico, when Enrique Peña Nieto was governor of that state. Since the early stages of his post as director of CONADE, Castillo has had a strategy of cutting funding and making the different organizations return some of the money already spent.[3] Despite this, some other federations such as the Amateur Boxing Federation where their participants had to ask for money on the streets to fund themselves for their different qualification competitions before Rio 2016.[4]

National Olympics

CONADE is responsible for organizing the National Olympics and the qualifying events in which athletes need to participate in order to be eligible for the National Olympics.
