Call to Action

TAFISA World Congress 2023 Düsseldorf –

Call to Action

On November 4 2023, the Congress participants agreed on a “Call to Action” which asks for concerted action towards governments at all levels, the private sector, media, NGOs, global and regional institutions, across all sectors, to combine our complementary strengths and resources.

Covid, Climate, Conflicts – the current crises that the world is facing are pushing people, societies, and countries apart.

We, the TAFISA World Congress participants, believe in the power of Sport for All as one of the very few unifying languages in the world.

The TAFISA World Congress provides a safe, welcoming, and inclusive platform where we talk, listen to and respect each other, and where we are able to exchange openly and work together.

This is a call for concerted action towards governments at all levels, the private sector, media, NGOs, global and regional institutions, across all sectors, to combine our complementary strengths and resources through the following actions:


  • Implement Sport for All as a cross-cutting theme in all policy fields,


  • Openly share and exchange knowledge and stories with the general public to increase impact,


  • Recognise and support personal involvement through volunteerism and individual commitment to Sport for All,


  • Invest people and resources in sustainable Sport for All as a means to contribute to the SDGs, and



  • Make Sport for All a mandate and not an option.


Now is the time to act. More together than ever.
