The Association of Summer Olympic Federations received a commemorative FIFA flag upon reaching its 25th anniversary on 3 June.
The organisation celebrated reaching the milestone in Athens
during the 32nd General Assembly. At this event, FIFA
vice-president and President of the Organising Committee for the
Olympic Football Tournaments Issa Hayatou presented the flag to
ASOIF President Denis Oswald.
For the past 25 years, ASOIF has sought to unite, promote and
support the International Summer Olympic Federations; to preserve
their autonomy, while co-ordinating their common interests and
goals. Its role is to serve and represent the Summer Olympic
International Federations in the most competent, articulate and
professional manner on issues of common interest in the Summer
Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement, and on any other matter
deemed necessary by the International Federations.
