About us
The CSIT is an international multi-sports organisation based on the ideas of the international labour movement: equality and solidarity in sport. CSIT was founded 1913 in Ghent/Belgium and re-established after the 2nd World War in the year 1946.
Member coming from Africa, America, Asia & Europe
During the last decade the CSIT has been growing quite fast to a world wide organisation with 36 national member unions from 32 countries, 3 continental member unions and in total 12-14 million individual memberships today. Within the world of international sport, the CSIT maintains its support for everyone to benefit from sporting activities regardless of their qualifications, talent, nationality, age, sex and social circumstances.
International Co-operation
The CSIT works in good co-operation with GAISF (General Association of International Sports Federations), ICSSPE (International Council of Sport and Physical Education) and IOC international working group coordinating Sport for All.
The obligations of the CSIT are becoming increasingly important in these terms, when commercialisation and the lack of facilities and economic resources are reducing sport to passive entertainment for the vast majority of people.
The CSIT is an organisation which aims at promoting and broadening workers' sport activities and thus develop into a world-wide movement. This will support our aspirations for democracy, solidarity and improving the quality of life through sport. This movement will encompass all sports federations and hence will be able to provide better opportunities for varied physical exercise for all citizens.
There are equal pillars for CSIT sportswomen and sportsmen:
- CSIT World Sports Games
- CSIT Championships,
- International Tournaments,
- International Festivals and
- Sport for All-activities,
- International Projects,
- Health and Fitness Activities.
