List of International Sports Federations and Recognized Sports

\n

Here is a list of international sports federations, which serve as a non-governmental governing body for the sport, and administers the sport at a world level. This list forms the foundation of the complete list of sports, which includes many more world sports than are listed here.

The role of the international sports federation includes regulating rules, promotion of the sport, developing players, and organizing championships. Some international sports federations may oversee multiple sports.

\n

There are governing bodies which have become the first to achieve observer status with that are not yet officially recognised as sporting federations. In 2017, the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) gave 'observer status' to a few possible new official sports, such as armwrestling, dodgeball, footgolf, kettlebell lifting, poker, pole sports and table soccer.

International Sports Federations

International Sports Federations

The International Sports Federations (IFs) are responsible for the integrity of their sport on the international level.

\n

The International Sports Federations are international non-governmental organisations recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as administering one or more sports at world level. The national federations administering those sports are affiliated to them. While conserving their independence and autonomy in the administration of their sports, International Sports Federations seeking IOC recognition must ensure that their statutes, practice and activities conform with the Olympic Charter.

\n

The IFs have the responsibility and duty to manage and to monitor the everyday running of the world's various sports disciplines, including for those on the programme, the practical organisation of events during the Games. The IFs must also supervise the development of athletes practising these sports at every level. Each IF governs its sport at world level and ensures its promotion and development. They monitor the everyday administration of their sports and guarantee the regular organisation of competitions as well as respect for the rules of fair play.

\n

The IFs may formulate proposals addressed to the IOC concerning the Olympic Charter and the Olympic Movement in general, including the organising and holding of the Olympic Games; give their opinions concerning the candidatures for organising the Olympic Games, particularly concerning the technical capabilities of the candidate cities; collaborate in the preparation of the Olympic Congresses; and participate in the activities of the IOC commissions.

\n

Association of Federations

\n

In order to discuss common problems and decide on their events calendars, the summer federations, the winter federations and the recognised federations have formed associations: the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF), the Association of International Olympic Winter Sports Federations (AIOWF), and the Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations (ARISF).

This is a list of international sports federations, each of which serves as a non-governmental governing body for a given sport and administers its sport at a world level, most often crafting rules, promoting the sport to prospective spectators and fans, developing prospective players, and organizing world or continental championships. Some international sports federations, such as World Aquatics and the International Skating Union, may oversee multiple activities referred to in common parlance as separate sports: World Aquatics, for example governs swimming, diving, synchronised swimming, and water polo as separate \"disciplines\" within the single \"sport\" of Aquatics.\n

International sports federations form an integral part of the Olympic and Paralympic movements. Each Olympic sport is represented by its respective international sports federation, which in turn helps administer the events in its respective sport during the Games. For a sport to become an Olympic sport, its international sports federation must be recognized by the International Olympic Committee.[1]\n

Likewise, an international sports federation must be recognized by the International Paralympic Committee for its sport to become a paralympic sport, though in the latter case, several Paralympic Sports are governed by a dedicated committee of the International Paralympic Committee itself, under the World Para branding, for example track and field athletics for disabled athletes is governed by the IPC itself, under the name \"World Para Athletics\". Other Paralympic sports are governed within the structure of the able-bodied equivalent: for example, the UCI governs both able-bodied and paralympic cycling.\n

Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF)[edit]

\n

In May 2023 the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF) reached a number of 31 full member international federations and 2 associate member international federations.[2]\n

However, on 22 June 2023, the IOC decided to withdraw recognition of the International Boxing Association (IBA), in accordance with Rule 3.7 of the Olympic Charter (OC),[3] although boxing will continue to be an olympic sport for the 2028 Summer Olympics.[4] This was the first-ever International Federation to be removed from the Olympic Movement by the IOC.[5]\n

The following are the 30 members of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF)[6][7][8] which are recognised by the International Olympic Committee:\n

^ Denotes membership also to The Association for International Sport for All (TAFISA).[9]\n

Federations recognized by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC)[edit]

\n

There are 17 international federations recognized by the IPC, while the IPC itself serves as the international federation for six sports.[21][22] IPC recognises also 4 International Organisations of Sports for the Disabled.

List of International Sports Federations and Recognized Sports

\n

Here is a list of international sports federations, which serve as a non-governmental governing body for the sport, and administers the sport at a world level. This list forms the foundation of the complete list of sports, which includes many more world sports than are listed here.

\n
\n
\n\n
\n
\n

The role of the international sports federation includes regulating rules, promotion of the sport, developing players, and organizing championships. Some international sports federations may oversee multiple sports.

\n

There are governing bodies which have become the first to achieve observer status with that are not yet officially recognised as sporting federations. In 2017, the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) gave 'observer status' to a few possible new official sports, such as armwrestling, dodgeball, footgolf, kettlebell lifting, poker, pole sports and table soccer.
