The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) is the global governing body for the sport of climbing. Established in 2007, it oversees competitions, sets rules, and promotes climbing as a competitive sport. The IFSC is responsible for organizing international events, including the World Championships and World Cups, and works to develop climbing disciplines such as lead, bouldering, and speed climbing. The IFSC also plays a crucial role in the inclusion of climbing in major multi-sport events, such as the Olympic Games. By fostering the growth of climbing worldwide, the IFSC aims to enhance the sport's visibility and encourage participation at all levels.
