I have been truly inspired to see the creativity of International Sport Federations in how they have engaged followers and stakeholders through innovative channels and campaigns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The International Olympic Committee President told the IF Forum\u2019s delegates that collaborative work with the organising committee and other partners and stakeholders, including IFs, will ensure Tokyo is \u201cthe best prepared Olympic city\u201d for the postponed Games.<\/p>\n<p>He added to IF representatives, who were tuning in worldwide: \u201cThe health and safety of all concerned has always been and remains our top priority. Because of the fast-changing situation, we may not yet have all of the answers to the operational questions that are at the top of the minds of all IFs, but please rest assured that we are developing a toolbox of Covid countermeasures for every possible scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this context, the encouraging developments in so-called rapid testing and vaccines give us all good reason for cautious optimism. These developments will greatly facilitate the safe organization and give us additional countermeasure tools. In this way, we are prepared for safe Olympic Games, whatever conditions the world will be facing next summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Tedros, who has been at the forefront of the international response to the pandemic, pledged WHO\u2019s support to IFs, sports, event organising committees, sportspeople and fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with representatives here today, we have issued guidance on running safe events. It calls for a risk-based approach to decide if and how an event should proceed,\u201d Dr. Tedros said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is up to each of us to reinforce the essential role of sport as an enabler for better health, and WHO continues to strengthen our collaborations with sports entities, Federations and athletes. We are working to ensure that sports can be practiced safely, both at amateur and professional levels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The invitation-only IF Forum 2020 has brought together more than 200 leaders from over 125 IFs, with experts providing insights into areas such as crisis management, scenario planning, risk mitigation and staying connected with athletes, fans and stakeholders in times of crisis.<\/p>\n<p>For further information about the IF Forum, click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportaccord.sport\/if-forum\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\">here<\/a>\u00a0or download the brochure\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportaccord.sport\/sites\/default\/files\/page\/file\/IF_Forum_2020_0.pdf\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\">here<\/a>, and follow #IFFORUM2020 on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sportaccord\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/2698958\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\">LinkedIn<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/regionalsportaccord\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Sportaccord\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For media enquiries, please contact:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:media@sportaccord.sport\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\">media@sportaccord.sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EDITOR\u2019S NOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The International Federation (IF) Forum<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The IF Forum takes place annually and targets the specific needs of Olympic and International Sport Federations with a focus on sharing best practices and knowledge.
