Many sports disciplines now have their federations, each with its membership. In 2020, French sports federations issued more than 15 million licenses. Moreover, male members represented a majority, with nearly ten million licenses issued. Meanwhile, the number of female sports licenses amounted to approximately six million in the same year.

The source adds the following information: "The 2020 data corresponds, depending on the organization of the federations, to the year 2020, to the 2019-2020 season, or even to other specific periods ending in 2020. The health crisis, which began in March 2020, affects figures in two ways: cancellation of specific sports events, training sessions and competitions; and the inability of some clubs to report all information to the federation."
