Recap of the IFF Association meeting Strategy workshops (1,5h) Mr. King made a short recap of the outcome from the IFF Association Meeting Strategy workshops. The STF member gave a short feedback of their perception of the workshops. Mr. Suman (EFT Countries): The countries feel that there is great needs to strengthen the member associations, to close the gap between the countries and enlarge the top4 to a top10 and to grow the number of players, to secure global growth. There should be more cooperation, knowledge shearing and having more experience exchange between the associations. IFF needs to have more financial success Mr. Lee (Spain): The group discussed about closing the gap, knowledge sharing and need more courses for coaches and referees. Bigger MA’s need to help the smaller MA’s, with more friendly matches. Need to have different financial fees for organising events. Ms. Salomaa (GER, LAT, NOR, POL) Key to strengthen the National Associations operations, which now has too much focus on the National Teams and the Events. More sharing of information and more meetings with the National Associations. Change of focus to the IOC to develop National Associations.
