The International Federation of CP Football (IFCPF), as the worldwide governing body for the sport of CP Football, coordinates a large and diverse workforce of staff and volunteers. This presents both challenges and affords great opportunities.
Our people are what make IFCPF stand out as a leading international federation. People in all roles of delivering the sport of CP Football give their time, energy, expertise and commitment; continue to be the lifeblood of our sport.
IFCPF Guiding Behaviours
As an International Federation (IF) we provide leadership to the team of people who work on our behalf, but also provide strategic direction and inspiration to all regions, countries, communities and individuals who engage with CP Football. These guiding behaviours are embedded in all we do, including the Terms of Reference for each of our committees which are designed to give structure and clarity to the way we work. It is hoped that these Guiding Behaviours can provide a reference and a reminder, that we continue to work, learn and grow together to deliver CP Football as a ‘United Game, Globally Respected’.
