World Athletics is dedicated to promoting a healthier, more active world through athletics and its athletes. Aligned with the World Plan for Athletics 2022-2030 and the Pioneering Change Strategy 2024-2027, the organization focuses on expanding participation, increasing fan engagement, and building partnerships worldwide.
Development efforts prioritize grassroots activities and Kids’ Athletics to encourage early involvement. Key to these initiatives are education and training programs for volunteers, coaches, officials, and administrators, delivered through both in-person sessions and an accessible online Education Hub.
To support and sustain these strategies, World Athletics offers financial grants, services, and tailored support to its 214 Member Federations and six Area Associations, strengthening global infrastructure for athletics development.
