Application for ordinary membership

 

Dear Mr. Schupp,

 

The Central Board of the International Floorball Federation (IFF) has decided to apply for ordinary membership of GAISF.

 

The IFF is aware that the application will be treated in 2004, and eventually decided upon in the GAISF Congress 2004.

 

The IFF wants to show our commitment to sports and our willingness to take part in all fields and share our mutual responsibility. Therefore the IFF also aims to apply to the IWGA to become a member in order to be able to take part in the World Games. Well aware of all applicable statues and laws the IFF will now humbly ask the IWGA for observer status at the upcoming World Games in Duisburg in Germany July 2005.

 

The IFF has also informed WADA that we fully agree upon and has now accepted the World Anti-Doping Code, which was mutually discussed at the last anti-doping conference in Copenhagen.

 

The International Floorball Federation (IFF) consists of 31 member Associations from which 15 are recognized by their National Sports Authorities.

 

By the end of March 2003 the IFF consists of 31 member Associations with 3.900 clubs and 208.000 registered players.

 

 

With sincere regards

International Floorball Federation
