As 2025 draws to an end, and I conclude my first half-year as CIFP President, I find myself reflecting on a simple but profound truth: Fairness is not a distant ideal; it is the atmosphere we breathe.

Turkish National Olympic Committee President Ahmet Gülüm emphasized the importance of highlighting the clean and inspiring face of sport, stating that Fair Play represents a valuable heritage built over 44 years. He underlined TMOK’s responsibility to make the dignified, unifying, and ethical values of sport more visible to society.
