International Workers' Sports Federation (FIS)

The International Workers' Sports Federation (FIS) is a global organization founded in 1921 that promotes sports and physical activity among workers and labor organizations. It aims to foster international solidarity, social justice, and healthy lifestyles by organizing sports events, competitions, and initiatives accessible to working-class people. FIS emphasizes unity, equality, and cooperation across different countries and cultures through sports, often serving as an alternative to mainstream, elite sporting organizations. It plays a role in promoting social and political ideals linked to workers' rights and anti-fascist movements, fostering camaraderie and mutual understanding worldwide.
