CSIT is an international multi-sports organization, founded 1913 in Ghent/Belgium and based on the historic ideas of the international labor movement. Within the last decades, CSIT has reoriented and became a broad-based international Sport for All - Confederation with more than 200 million members. By organizing major sports events worldwide, establishing international networking platforms, engagement in EU projects and developing educational programs CSIT is led by one guiding principle:
Spirit of Sports - Spirit of Unity
In international sport, the CSIT network plays an important role as a starting point and training platform for future world-class athletes. Numerous current and former Olympic athletes who have made it to Olympic medal honours have their roots in CSIT member organizations.
CSIT is the founder of the CSIT World Sports Games (WSG) and develops the WSG to international amateur sports games in view of the dimension of our original International Workers' Olympiads. Thus, CSIT offers all non-professional athletes a sustainable and unique stage for competition in a spirit of friendship and global citizenship.
