The Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations (ARISF) is a nonprofit organisation of international sports federations that constituted through and recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The ARISF's members are recognised by the International Olympic Committee whose sport is currently not competed in either the Summer or Winter Olympics, though becoming a member of ARISF does not imply or guarantee that the sport will be included in future Olympic Games.
Among the aims of ARISF are: act as a spokesperson to defend and coordinate the common interests of its members whilst maintaining their authority, independence and autonomy, determine the consensus of the member federations on questions of common interest in relation to the Olympic Movement and ensure the largest possible participation in the activities of the IOC.
Headquartered in the Swiss city of Lausanne, it was formed in 1983. It is headed by Raffaele Chiulli, who is the president of ARISF.
