Asia continues to play a vital role within the ISF community
ISF Members from Asia have long been among the most active participants in ISF events and educational programmes. At the same time, Asian members have made significant contributions as hosts of ISF Events. Countries such as China and India have successfully organised ISF competitions and educational activities, helping to bring the values of sport, education and friendship to new generations of young people worldwide.
ISF looks forward to further strengthening its presence and partnerships across Asia, working together with regional and national partners to create more opportunities for young people through sport and education.
