the associate for international sport for all (tafisa)
London
E ORIGINS OF TAFISA DATE BACK TO THE 1960S, WITH THE SEMI REGULAR GATHERING OF
INTERNATIONAL BUT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITIES AND LEADERS INTERESTED AND WORKING IN
THE FIELD OF SPORT FOR ALL, UNDER THE TITLE ‘TRIM AND FITNESS’. AT THE TIME,
SPORT FOR ALL WAS A LITTLE KNOWN CONCEPT. IN 1991, TAFISA (then the Trim And
Fitness International Sport for All Association), was officially formed in
Bordeaux, France and its statutes registered with the law courts of Frankfurt,
Germany. IN 2005, TAFISA became professional with the opening of its office,
also in Frankfurt, Germany. Since then, TAFISA’s professional staff has grown to
include those in the Frankfurt headquarters, those working in the office of the
President, and international consultants. IN 2009, TAFISA officially changed its
name to ‘The Association For International Sport for All’ to more accurately
describe its activities and its position as the leading international Sport for
All association.
