Several important proposals were approved at the International Shooting Sport Federation Executive Committee (Ex Co) and Council meetings, which both took place on 9 July during the ISSF World Cup in Lonato del Garda, Italy.
A key strategic moment came with the approval of the 2027 and 2028 competition calendar by the Ex Co, giving athletes and member federations a unique opportunity for long term planning, (see separate story) while members also approved an agreement with World Shooting Para Sport (WSPS) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to manage WSPS together, with an eye of a full handover to the ISSF in time for the next Paralympic Games.
ExCo recommended that the Council approved the ISSF Integrity Code and new ISSF Safeguarding Regulations and also approved an interim Chairperson and members of the newly approved ISSF E-Sports, E-Games and Technological Innovations Committee.
