Newly renamed SportAccord, the former General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) is going to face its new ambitions.
“Time has come for SportAccord to move a step forward, reorganise itself and develop a global strategy to leverage on sport unity and better face today’s sports challenges.
The purpose of SportAccord is not to replace the IFs, ASOIF, AIOWF or ARISF, nor to step on their respective autonomy and authority; it is about uniting the world of sport.
SportAccord fully recognises the IOC and the Olympic Movement’s authority; it is and will remain a loyal partner in the achievements of the Olympic Movement objectives.
SportAccord believes that unity will strengthen the world of sport; as such, SportAccord is willing to reinforce its members’ position by uniting and supporting them.
Through unity and synergies, SportAccord believes that the world of sport will be stronger when tackling global challenges together.”
