International Military Sports Council

The International Military Sports Council (CISM) is a global organization that promotes friendship and cooperation among military personnel through sports. Founded in 1948, it organizes international competitions, treaties, and events for armed forces from different countries. Its goal is to foster peace, understanding, and camaraderie among military members worldwide by emphasizing the positive values of sportsmanship, discipline, and mutual respect. CISM operates independently of political or military conflicts, using sports as a bridge to build peaceful relations and enhance the image of the armed forces.
