About the European body
A clear European structure for O-Sport.
O-Sport European Federation is being developed as the continental coordination and development body for WOF disciplines and national organisations across sporting Europe.
Our purpose
Make European O-Sport easier to join, organize and compete in.
Member services
Give verified national organisations a public profile, editorial channel and route into European activity.
Trusted O-Sport governance
Publish approved O-Sport statutes, policies, safeguarding, anti-doping information and transparent membership status.
Initial collaboration network
Learn from independent sports already in the conversation.
Strongman, OCR and MMA organizations remain independent. The purpose of outreach is knowledge-sharing and possible collaboration in developing O-Sport.

What is O-Sport?
A wider family of multi-stage hybrid disciplines.
WOF presents O-Sport as a system combining obstacle, combat, precision, mind and artistic disciplines. Contacts with adjacent sports are independent collaboration relationships; they are not part of O-Sport European Federation’s governance structure.
