25 Recognition of IFs<br />
Olympic Charter<br />
In force as from 8 July 2011<br />
The International<br />
Federations (IFs)<br />
In order to develop and promote the Olympic Movement, the IOC may recognise as IFs<br />
international non-governmental organisations administering one or several sports at world<br />
level and encompassing organisations administering such sports at national level.<br />
The statutes, practice and activities of the IFs within the Olympic Movement must be in<br />
conformity with the Olympic Charter, including the adoption and implementation of the<br />
World Anti-Doping Code. Subject to the foregoing, each IF maintains its independence and<br />
autonomy in the administration of its sport.<br />
