Strategic Plan

Dear friends and family members of the Powerlifting community:

As we welcome a new leadership era we reaffirm our commitment to open communication and honoring our essential principles of leadership, integrity, excellence, inclusivity, and fellowship. ,

Powerlifting currently faces rapid transformations which bring about both major challenges and important opportunities. The IPF under its current leadership is committed to strengthening good governance while simultaneously protecting athletes and maintaining powerlifting's sustainability and appeal for future generations. We work hard to create a powerlifting environment that serves everyone from elite competitors to casual participants.

 Our previous strategic accomplishments and acclaim from respected bodies like the International World Games Association (IWGA), the Alliance of Independent Recognized Members of Sports (AIMS), and the International Federation of University Sport (FISU) enable us to develop new partnerships while launching fresh initiatives. Our organization takes pride in being a fully compliant Tier 1 Signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code which enables us to uphold the utmost integrity and fairness in our sport.

 The IPF will pursue its mission by maintaining transparency and accountability in line with our core values as we continue to deliver quality competitive opportunities and international powerlifting promotion. Our member federations, clubs, stakeholders, partners, athletes, officials, and participants are invited to work with us to develop a better future through powerlifting. We appreciate your ongoing support as we enter an exciting new phase of development and change within the IPF. 

Warm regards,

Sigurjon Petursson
IPF President
