ISSA – INTERNATIONAL SPECIAL SPORTS ASSOCIATION

The International Special Sports Association (ISSA) is an independent, non-profit international organisation established to support the sustainable development, coordination, and quality advancement of special and inclusive sports activities.

ISSA operates on the principles of good governance, transparency, and institutional responsibility. The Association provides a neutral and reliable framework for cooperation among national and regional associations, professionals, and stakeholders, with a focus on education, knowledge exchange, and capacity-building initiatives aligned with international standards.

Our community is composed of organisations and individuals committed to accessibility, integrity, and equal opportunity in sport. ISSA respects cultural and organisational diversity and functions as a complementary structure, working collaboratively rather than competitively within the global sports ecosystem.

ISSA pursues its mission without commercial purpose and bases its decisions on collective interests, statutory principles, and long-term sustainability. The Association seeks to create lasting value, institutional trust, and meaningful cooperation for its members and partners.
