C est pour cela que l édition 2016 du Congrès SportAccord est un moment si important pour toutes les parties prenantes du Mouvement olympique mais aussi du monde du sport en général, afin qu elles se réunissent pour examiner les tendances qui définiront l avenir du sport. Avec les Jeux Olympiques de Rio 2016 à l horizon, ce sera le moment idéal pour voir comment les réformes de l Agenda olympique 2020 façonnent l avenir du sport et renforcent le partenariat entre le CIO et toutes les Fédérations Internationales. Ce rassemblement des dirigeants sportifs est également l occasion de souligner l importance cruciale de la crédibilité et de la bonne gouvernance dans le sport. Si le rôle et l importance du sport dans la société continuent de croître, il en va de même des attentes du public en termes d intégrité des organisations sportives et des compétitions sportives. Il est de notre responsabilité à nous tous, dans le monde du sport, d apporter de nouvelles réponses aux nouvelles questions qui se posent. Nous avons appelé toutes les organisations sportives à tout faire pour mettre en œuvre les normes et pratiques en matière de bonne gouvernance car, au bout du compte, nous avons tous la même responsabilité, à savoir préserver l intégrité du monde du sport. Dans ce contexte, il est encourageant de voir qu un des thèmes clés du Congrès SportAccord de cette année est la mission du sport. Cela montre l importance que revêt le respect des valeurs du sport pour toutes les parties prenantes du monde du sport. Le sport est mondial et nous avons besoin d un congrès mondial comme SportAccord pour continuer à échanger des idées, à forger des partenariats et à resserrer les liens d amitié qui unissent tous les sports dans le monde.

Thomas Bach Président, Comité international olympique THOMAS BACH MESSAGE DU PRÉSIDENT, COMITÉ INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIQUE MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT, INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE Welcome to the 2016 SportAccord Convention in Lausanne. The Olympic Capital is a truly fitting location to discuss the future of sport. What better occasion than an Olympic year to remind ourselves that the universal values of sport are more relevant in the world today than ever before. This is why the 2016 SportAccord Convention is such an important moment for all Stakeholders from both within the Olympic Movement and the wider world of sport to come together to discuss the trends that will define the future of sport. With the Olympic Games Rio 2016 on the horizon, it will be a timely opportunity to look at how the reforms of Olympic Agenda 2020 are shaping the future of sport and strengthening the partnership between the IOC and all International Federations. This gathering of sports leaders is also an opportunity to highlight the crucial importance of credibility and good governance in sport. As the role and relevance of sport in society continues to grow, so do the expectations of the public with regards to the integrity of sports organisations and sports competitions. It is the shared responsibility of everyone in the world of sport to provide new answers to new questions. We have called on and we expect all sports organisations to make every effort in implementing good governance standards and practices because at the end of day, we all share the responsibility to uphold the integrity of the world of sport. In this context, it is encouraging to see The Mission of Sport as a key theme at this year s SportAccord Convention. This shows that the importance of upholding the values of sport is resonating among all Stakeholders of the world of sport. Sport is global and we need a global forum like the SportAccord Convention to continue to exchange ideas, forge partnerships and deepen the friendships that unite all sports in the world. In this spirit, I wish you a successful 2016 SportAccord Convention. Thomas Bach President, International Olympic Committee Chers délégués, Le retour de SportAccord Convention à Lausanne marque le dernier succès en date du Canton de Vaud dans le domaine du sport. Nous avons beaucoup investi dans le développement de la Capitale Olympique pour en faire le principal centre mondial de l administration du sport international. Cet investissement se traduit aussi par l attrait d événements sportifs internationaux tels que les Jeux Olympiques de la Jeunesse d hiver en 2020, de manifestations sportives orientées vers la participation de masse telles que les 20km de Lausanne ou encore l accueil de rencontres importantes telles que cette convention. Cette stratégie s avère être un succès. Chaque année, l industrie du sport contribue à hauteur de plus de 550 millions de francs suisses à notre économie régionale. Ce chiffre englobe non seulement les fédérations internationales mais aussi d autres organisations sportives et des entreprises privées évoluant dans le monde du sport. C est la combinaison de ces synergies avec notre expertise qui rend cette Capitale Olympique unique. La Capitale Olympique et tous ses résidents forment ensemble un réel «cluster» du sport international. Je vous encourage vivement à visiter le site web afin d explorer les différentes activités qui prennent place dans ce cluster. Vous pourrez aussi y découvrir comment des organisations similaires aux vôtres sont habilitées à atteindre leur potentiel sur une base quotidienne.

Teqball ADDRESS: 98 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin, 2, Ireland info@teqball.com WEBSITE: Teqball is a new football-based sport, which is perfectly suitable for professional footballers as well as amateur enthusiasts whose ambition is to develop their technical skills, concentration and stamina. However, it is not only our skills we can improve on this specially-bent board. All we need is an opponent at the other end of the Teqball table and the game can begin! If you can juggle a ball three times, you can excel at Teqball as well. Teqball is the purest type of football, since there is no physical contact between the players, and therefore injuries resulting from impacts or rough tackling can never take place in the game or during practice. Moreover, the players cannot touch the table either according to the official rules, which further reduces the risk of injury. Teqball is not football s rival but rather its complement. Teqball enchances players confidence, perfects their passing techniques and develops decision making skills not to mention the so-called first touch moves that are more than essential in modern-day football. Teqball is not about luck; the best players always win.
