International Labour Sports Federation
International Labour Sports Federation (French: Comité Sportif International du Travail, CSIT) is an international labour movement and trade union sporting organisation, based in Vienna. It was founded in Brussels in 1946 as a successor of Socialist Workers' Sport International. CSIT was recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1986.
Since CSIT's roots are in the Workers' Sport Movement founded in 1913, the federation is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2013.
