“This policy is aligned with the recommendations set out by the IOC and illustrates our commitment to a structured return of Individual Neutral Athletes and Officials to WDSF Competitions. I extend my thanks to all members of the Presidium for their support in this initiative."
To uphold the principles and values of sportsmanship without discrimination, the WDSF Presidium has devoted significant efforts to navigate the challenges brought about by the geopolitical situation and war in Ukraine. Our aim is to preserve the safety, integrity, and spirit of friendship within the sport.
The WDSF’s approval of this policy is consistent with the organisation's commitment to a structured environment for all athletes, support personnel, and officials.
