5 Organisation recognised by the WHAT IS ARISF? The Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations (ARISF) brings together the IOC Recognised International Sports Federations. Currentlly, there are 38 International Federations that are members of ARISF Through its members, ARISF represents, a million athletes and many billions of fans all over the World. ARISF is represented on IOC Commissions and provides valuable input reflecting the views of its Member International Federations, assuming a key role in the periodic review of the Olympic Sports Programme, assisting the recognised sports in their efforts to secure broad social recognition and in their will to feature in the future Olympic Games.

6 A HOME FOR PASSIONS AND SPORT VALUES Every moment of every day, millions of people are taking part in sporting activities that are managed by the Sport Federations Member of ARISF, the Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations. Our global movement was founded in Switzerland in 1983 and is constituted through and recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). ARISF has the role to actively unite, support and represent the interests of the International Sports Federations which have been granted recognition by the International Olympic Committee as per the Olympic Charter. ARISF represents these federations collectively as one of the pillars to the Olympic Movement and promotes the Olympic spirit through the sports which they govern. Through ARISF, the Member Federations maintain an effective dialogue with the IOC and with other sports organisations on matters of common interest. Furthermore, ARISF serves as the forum for its Member Federations to exchange know-how and expertise in all aspects of sports governance and is an important stakeholder of SportAccord. ARISF counts nowadays 38 International Sports Federations who together regroup over 4000 National Sports Federations and is represented in all countries and regions of the world. Over 1.3 billion people in the World are practising an ARISF Federation sport: they cannot be wrong. I would like to present to the sports lovers the thrilling sports the ARISF Federations offer and the positive ways in which they contribute to the sporting landscape. Dr. Raffaele Chiulli ARISF President

7 COMMITTED TO A COMMON VISION Dear Friends, The strength of the Olympic Movement is its unity in diversity. The Association of Recognised IOC International Sports Federations (ARISF) and its Members contribute to this diversity, reflecting the great variety of organised sport. The diversity of ARISF itself is exceptional with the membership of a total of 38 International Federations. Five of these Federations will be part of the Olympic programme at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, demonstrating the important contribution of ARISF to the Olympic Movement. As the leading experts in their sports, the ARISF members are strongly committed to the promoting Olympic principles and the values of sport. Over time, ARISF has deepened its cooperation with the Olympic Movement, embracing the Olympic Agenda 2020 recommendations to strengthen and safeguard the role of sport in society. As a leading member of the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF), ARISF will continue to play a key role in supporting International Federations and other stakeholders within the Olympic Movement. ARISF can count on the IOC as a partner at its side, as we continue to work towards our shared goal of promoting the role of sport and its values in society. United in our diversity, and building on the strong foundation of our partnership, we can make the world a better place through sport. Dr. Thomas Bach IOC President

8 GAISF was founded as General Assembly of the International Sports Federations in It is an Association composed of autonomous and independent International Sports Federations and other international sport and event related organizations. GAISF s vision is to present a united voice of sport in support of the Olympic ideals and of the Olympic movement and promote sport at every level and in every corner of the world, from grassroots to elite, wherever its members have national organizations and events. The Mission of GAISF has remained the same since its inception, that is to serve and represent the common interests of all International Federations and coordinate the efforts of all those that aspire to become IOC recognized and, eventually, wish to enter the Olympic Program.

To support the organization of the annual SportAccord and IF Forum. 3. To develop specific services for its Members. 4.

The GAISF members are divided into 5 groups: ASOIF and AIOWF for those that are on the Olympic Summer and Winter Program, ARISF for those IFs that are recognized by the IOC, AIMS for those IFs that are not yet in any of the other groupings. Finally, the 5th group brings together all associated members which are sport and sport-related organization that organize events or support sport in various capacities. GAISF is administered by a Council of 9 persons elected by the General Assembly, coming from each of the five mentioned stakeholders. Its administration is located in the House of Sport in Lausanne. The GAISF Council is currently, for its mandate , composed as follows: Mr. Patrick Baumann President Mr. Raffaelle Chiulli Vice President Mr. Stephan Fox Vice President Ms. Marisol Casado Treasurer Mr. GIan Franco Kasper Member Mr. Riccardo Fraccari Member Ms. Kate Caithness Member Mr. Nenad Lalovic Member Mr. Jose Perurena Member
