The International Sport for All Federation (FISpT), operating under the brand World Sport for All, is pleased to announce that the Ministère des Sports, de la Jeunesse et de l’Emploi of Burkina Faso has been admitted as a new National Member of the Federation. This decision marks an important milestone in the expansion of the global Sport for All movement across Africa and reinforces the Federation’s commitment to supporting inclusive, accessible sport for all citizens.

A New Chapter for Sport for All in Burkina Faso

The admission of the Burkina Faso Ministry of Sports, Youth and Employment as a National Member reflects the country’s strong dedication to promoting physical activity, youth development, and community well-being through sport. By joining World Sport for All, Burkina Faso becomes part of a growing international network of governments, federations, and organizations working together to make sport a fundamental right for every individual.

This membership will enable Burkina Faso to access international expertise, participate in global Sport for All initiatives, and collaborate with other member countries on projects related to grassroots sport, health promotion, social inclusion, and youth empowerment. It also opens new opportunities for knowledge exchange, capacity building, and the development of national policies aligned with international best practices in Sport for All.

Provisional Admission Pending General Assembly Approval

The decision to admit the Ministère des Sports, de la Jeunesse et de l’Emploi of Burkina Faso as a National Member has been taken on a provisional basis, in accordance with the Federation’s statutes and governance procedures. This provisional status will remain in effect until the next General Assembly of World Sport for All, where the membership will be formally reviewed and submitted for final approval by the member federations.

This process ensures transparency, democratic oversight, and full alignment with the Federation’s regulatory framework, while allowing Burkina Faso to begin engaging with the Sport for All community without delay.

Strengthening the Global Sport for All Network

The arrival of Burkina Faso as a new National Member strengthens the geographic diversity and institutional reach of World Sport for All. It underscores the Federation’s role as a truly global platform that brings together governments, international federations, and civil society organizations around a shared vision: sport for everyone, everywhere.

World Sport for All looks forward to working closely with the Burkina Faso Ministry of Sports, Youth and Employment to develop impactful initiatives that promote health, education, social cohesion, and sustainable development through sport. The Federation is confident that this new partnership will contribute significantly to the growth of Sport for All in West Africa and beyond.
