February 19, 2025 - 14:18

IBSA is pleased to announce the creation of the IBSA Sports Committee Chairmen Advisory Council, a new initiative aimed at strengthening coordination and communication across IBSA sports. This advisory council will bring together the chairpersons of IBSA Sport Committees for regular discussions on key topics such as the development of educational programs for referees, coaches, and athletes.

The establishment of this council reflects IBSA's commitment to enhancing the quality and accessibility of sports for individuals with visual impairments. By fostering collaboration among the various sports committees, the council aims to share best practices, address challenges, and promote innovative solutions to improve the overall sporting experience.

In addition to focusing on educational initiatives, the council will also work towards establishing uniform standards and guidelines that can be implemented across different sports disciplines. This collaborative approach is expected to lead to more effective training methods and improved competitive environments for athletes. The formation of the advisory council marks a significant step forward in IBSA's mission to support and advance blind sports on a global scale.
