The International Weightlifting Federation, aka IWF, is the international governing body for the sport of Weightlifting. Headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, it has 193 affiliated national federations.[2] Mohammed Hasan Jalood is its president since June 2022.[3]
The IWF organizes the World Weightlifting Championships, as well as world championship events for Youth and Juniors.[4] It also cooperates with the International Olympic Committee in the organization of Weightlifting events at the Olympic Games;[5] however weightlifting's inclusion in the 2028 Olympics is uncertain, due to doping issues within the sport, and governance issues within IWF, and weightlifting's inclusion is expected to be decided by an IOC meeting in 2023.[6] Weightlifting is scheduled as a sport in the upcoming 2024 Olympics, but with reduced numbers of athletes and events.[7][8]
IWF traces its history to the formation of the "Amateur-Athleten-Weltunion" (Amateur Athletes World Union) in 1905.[9]
