General Association of International Sports Federations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) (French: Association Générale des Fédérations Internationales des Sports (AGFIS)) was formed to promote communication and cooperation among various international sports federations. Twenty-six such international sports associations participated in the founding of GAISF in 1967; today more than 100 sports are represented. GAISF works closely with the Olympics movement. It is headquartered in Monaco
