The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) have signed an agreement to transfer governance of shooting Para sport from the IPC to the ISSF. At present, the sport is managed by World Shooting Para Sport under the IPC. The move is the first formal step towards unifying Olympic and Paralympic shooting under a single global body, with a focus on aligned governance and development.
The transfer will take effect only after approval by ISSF Member Federations at the General Assembly later this year. If ratified, the ISSF will take full charge from early next year. A phased integration is planned over 2027-2028 to ensure stability, with minimal changes to competition structures and qualification systems, including for the LA 2028 Paralympic Games.
