The International Fair Play Committee (French: Comité international pour le Fair-Play), abbreviated as the CIFP or the IFPC, is a not for profitinternational non-governmental organisation which serves to foster sportsmanship in international competition. It presents awards annually at the World Fair Play Awards to recognise acts of fair play carried out by sportspeople or teams. The awards ceremony is held in various locations and has been broadcast on television in Europe.[1]
Awards are presented at the annual World Fair Play Awards Ceremony in three categories:[5]
For an act of fair play by complying with both the written and unwritten rules of sport.
For a general attitude of sportsmanship throughout a sports career by demonstrating an outstanding and constant spirit of fair play.
For an activity aiming to promote fair play such as the organisation of national or local campaigns, lectures, books, articles or reports in the media.
The trophies given in recognition of the different achievements in each category are:[6][4]
Pierre de Coubertin World Fair Play Trophy[a] – the "trophy for action", awarded since 1965 for gestures of fair play in which an athlete impedes their performance to aid a fellow competitor.[20]
Jean Borotra World Fair Play Trophy[b] – the "trophy for the career", awarded since 1973 to recognise athletes who have displayed fair play throughout their careers.[22]
Willi Daume [de; fi; it; mg; pl; sv] World Fair Play Trophy[c] – the "trophy for promotion", awarded since 1995 to a person or organisation that has promoted the spirit of fair play.
Since 2013, the CIFP has, under the auspices of the IOC President, also given out the
Jacques Rogge World Fair Play Trophy for The Youth[d] – the "trophy for the youth", in recognition of junior athletes committed to the ideal of fair play.
Further to these annual trophies, the CIFP gives out diplomas and, since 1977,[27] letters of congratulations to other sportspeople and organisations who have shown exceptional good sportsmanship.[28]
Since 2014, the CIFP has awarded a Special World Fair Play Trophy "to such public figures that have significantly supported the development of sport – with no personal interest attached."[29] The first recipients of the Special World Fair Play Trophy were Mintimer Shaimiev and Alisher Usmanov.
