Celebrating 40 Years of ARISF
This year marks a remarkable milestone for the Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations (ARISF) as we celebrate 40 years of championing sport and supporting the growth of our members. To honour this significant anniversary, we gathered with our members and the broader sports community at the iconic The Olympic Museum Café , creating a moment of reflection, pride, and inspiration.
The celebration was highlighted by inspiring speeches from ARISF President Dr. Raffaele Chiulli, IOC Vice President Mrs. Nicole Hoevertsz, and SportAccord President Dr. Uğur Erdener, whose presence and support truly enriched the occasion.

Founded four decades ago, ARISF has always been dedicated to amplifying the voice of IOC-recognised International Federations. We have constantly supported our members, helping them expand their reach, gain global recognition, and establish a strong presence on the international stage. This anniversary not only celebrates our shared achievements but also offers a moment to reflect on our journey together. A journey that has seen non-Olympic disciplines rise to prominence, with many achieving inclusion in the Olympic Games. ARISF remains unwavering in its commitment to uphold the Olympic Charter and promote the value of all our members’ contributions to sport.
As we step into the future, ARISF remains dedicated to advocating for our members, supporting their growth, and ensuring that they continue to thrive on the world stage. This milestone reinforces our commitment to furthering the inclusion and development of all our members, a mission that inspires us to keep pushing boundaries.
Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who has contributed to ARISF’s legacy over the past 40 years. Together, we look ahead with confidence, knowing that ARISF will continue to drive positive change in the world of sports.
To commemorate this special occasion, we have published a book tracing ARISF’s history and evolution, now available on our website, an essential read for anyone passionate about the journey of sport and the power of community.
Join us in celebrating this milestone and embracing the exciting future that lies ahead.
