The International Federation of Sleddog Sports (IFSS, International Federation of Sleddog Sports) is the global governing/sanctioning body of sleddog sports.[1] It represents 49 national sleddog sport federations and organizations that are overseen by the board and six continental directors.[citation needed]
International Federation of Sleddog Sports was officially incorporated in 1992 as a way to focus the efforts of many national, local and international organizations on the goal of Olympic recognition and alignment of mushing with other mainstream sports through the General Association of International Sports Federations. IFSS is recognized by GAISF and in all countries as the world governing body of sled dog sports.
2013 saw the headquarters relocated from USA to Europe, Beligium.
