AIBA - International Boxing Association

"The first proof of pugilism was found in Egypt and dates back to year 3,000 BC. The fighters were naked and the event was part of the King’s festivities. For years and years, boxing continuously evolved and was first accepted as an Olympic sport in 688 BC at the 23rd Olympiad in Olympia. Onomastos of Smyrna became the first Olympic boxing champion. More than 2,600 years later, boxing remains on the Olympic Games program. The first boxing competition at the Olympic Games of modern times was at the 1904 edition in St-Louis (USA) with bouts in seven weight categories.

Several years later, representatives of the national associations of England, France, Belgium, Brazil and the Netherlands met in a preparatory conference for the foundation of an international boxing federation: la Fédération Internationale de Boxe Amateur (FIBA). The official foundation of FIBA was celebrated on August 24, 1920 during the Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium. International competition grew rapidly allowing amateurs to compete in prestigious tournaments.

In November 1946, a new start was given to the boxing’s governing body in order to regain some of the loss of credibility caused by the behavior of some leading officials during World War II. FIBA was dissolved and the English Amateur Boxing Association, in partnership with the French Boxing Federation, decided to create AIBA; l’Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur." in site

EAA - European Athletic Association

"The leaders of high performance, ethical and well-being aspects of athletics in Europe.

In 1932, the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) created a special committee to explore the possibility of organising a European Championships in Athletics.  The following year, the IAAF Council appointed a permanent European Committee. The Committee met for the first time in Budapest on January 7, 1934 and the first European Championships were staged later that year in Torino. The Committee was subsequently elected every four years by the whole membership of the IAAF and then, from 1966, exclusively by the IAAF's European Member Federations. Its work included expanding the European competition programme by adding the European Cup (first staged in 1965) and then the European Indoor Games (first staged in 1966), which later became the European Indoor Championships.

The EAA was legally re-constituted in Switzerland in 2003 and the Headquarters were moved to Lausanne, effective 1 January 2004.  A new Constitution, reflecting various changes to the organisational structure and working practices of the EAA, was adopted by an Extraordinary European Athletic Association Congress on October 15, 2005." in site

IAAF - International Associations of Athletics Federations

"By the late 1800s, popular enthusiasm for all types of physical exercise had caused a boom in participation sports. Athletics was especially popular, and soon became central to the exercise components of national educational systems. Organised athletics thrived in well developed industrial societies and an ever expanding competition programme developed in the schools and universities, in military organisations and private clubs.

The International Amateur Athletic Federation was founded in 1912 by 17 national athletic federations who saw the need for a governing authority, for an athletic programme, for standardised technical equipment and world records.

But what was the sport the IAAF was meant to govern? For participants, athletics was about enhancing the quality of  life; it was something done for love and other noble principles. This permitted a limited group of athletes to achieve high-level performances by virtue of a privileged social and financial situation." in site

  

IHF - International Handball Federation

"Sports historians claim that the game including the hand and a ball looks back on a unbelievably long tradition. Even if the rules and the way of playing were hardly in line with today’s handball, the “Urania game“ played by the Greek which had already been mentioned in Homer’s “Odyssey“ or “Harpaston“ played by the Romans – described by Claudius Galenus (AD 130 – 200) among others – may definitely be characterized as prototype of today’s handball. Such precursors also existed in today’s Central Europe. Minnesinger Walther von der Vogelweide (1170 – 1230) sang about a „catch ball game“ whereas in the 16th century, the Frank Rabelais described a kind of game in which the hands were used for playing the ball. Another game similar to handball was played by Greenland’s Inuits at the end of the 18th century." in site
