TheCSIT – International Workers and Amateurs in Sports Confederation (also known asInternational Labor and Amateur Sports Confederation) (French: CSIT - Confédération Sportive Internationale Travailliste et Amateur,CSIT) is an international multi-sports organization. It was established as the successor to theSocialist Workers' Sport International and, as such, celebrated itscentenary in 2013. The core principles of contributing to physical activity and sports have stayed in its action policy; upholding the right of men and women to do sports no matter what their professionalism levels are. The key concept of CSIT's sports policy has always been "Sports for all." The policy stems from the historical ideas of theinternational worker sport movement.
International Workers and Amateurs in Sports Confederation has been recognized by the IOC since 1986 and a member of GAISF since 1973.[1]
The main activities of CSIT consist of organizing major and small sports events for amateurs, specifically the CSIT World Sports Games and CSIT Single Championship. Sports events are considered festivals of friendship and cultural exchange, with events promoting awareness of tolerance, respect, unity, sustainability, and fair play in a sporting environment.
Within the world of international sport, it maintains its support for everyone to benefit from sporting activities regardless of their qualifications, talent, nationality, age, sex, and social background.
The first Workers' Sports International was created on 10 May 1913 in Ghent, Belgium, under the name of the International Socialist Association for Physical Education (ASIEP). It brought together workers' sports organisations from France, England and Belgium before also welcoming the Federation of Workers' Gymnasts of Germany, the largest organisation of its kind on a global scale. Like all international organisations of the workers' movement, its history was marked by the wars of the 20th century. ASIEP was re-established in Lucerne, Switzerland on 14 September 1920. Commonly called the Lucerne Sports International, in 1928 it adopted the official name of the Socialist Workers' Sports International1. The latter disappeared after the outbreak of the Second World War. Its successor was the International Labour Sports Committee, established in Brussels, Belgium on 30 May 1946, which would become the International Labour Sports Confederation2.
In 1973 this association joined SportAccord (ex-AGFIS) and was recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on October 31, 1986. From the following year the general assembly became annual and turned into a congress every two years. In 2011 the Rio de Janeiro congress3 decided to engage the CSIT in the defense and promotion of amateurism and its name became the International Labor and Amateur Sports Confederation (CSITA).
It celebrated its centenary in Brussels and Ghent in Belgium in 20134. On this occasion it was decided that the congress would henceforth be annual.
Before the Second World War, the CSIT organized the Workers' Olympics every 6 years in 1925, 1931 and 1937. If the CSIT then organized major championships by discipline, it was not until 2008 that the CSIT World Sports Games were reestablished in Rimini and organized every two years since. The 2012 edition was postponed by one year so that these games could take place in odd years and thus avoid competing with the Olympic Games every 4 years6. In 1936, it was also the exceptional initiator of the Popular Olympics in Barcelona organized as a counterpoint to the Berlin Olympic Games.
No games after world war II.
