International Canoe Federation

The International Canoe Federation (ICF) is the umbrella organisation of all national canoe organisations worldwide. As the sole organisation responsible for canoe and kayak paddling sports by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), it administers all aspects of canoe sport, across 10 disciplines, worldwide.

Through our network of 171 national federations, we unite millions of paddlers around the world. From starting out to the Olympic Games, we aim to promote and inspire a global passion for paddle sport everywhere and for everyone.

ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD is our moto.
