The
Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations
(
ARISF
) is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation constituted through and recognised by the
International Olympic Committee
(IOC).
[1]
The ARISF's members are
international sports federations
recognised by the IOC whose sport is currently not competed in either the Summer or Winter Olympics, though becoming a member of ARISF does not imply or guarantee that the sport will be included in future Olympic Games.
Among the aims of ARISF are: act as a spokesperson to defend and coordinate the common interests of its members whilst maintaining their authority, independence and autonomy, determine the consensus of the member federations on questions of common interest in relation to the Olympic Movement and ensure the largest possible participation in the activities of the IOC.
