Italian Ice Sports Federation

The Italian Ice Sports Federation (Italian: Federazione Italiana Sport del Ghiaccio; FISG), is the governing body for ice sports in Italy. It was founded in September 1926 to promote the practice of winter sports on ice and to coordinate events. The FISG is a member of a number of international sports organizations including the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) and the International Skating Union (ISU). The headquarter is in Milan.

The first Italian Ice Sports Federation was established in September 1926 in Milan by the fusion of three pre-existing federations, those for bobsledding, ice skating and ice hockey. In 1933, the FISG combined with the Italian skiing federation to create the Federazione Italiana Sport Invernali (FISI) (Italian Federation for Winter Sports ), with its operations transferred to Rome.

After World War II, when Italian sports organizations were being recreated, ice hockey and skiing were separate from ice skating. In 1952, ice hockey again joined with ice skating creating the new Federazione Italiana Sport del Ghiaccio.

The FISG has authority over the following sports:
