WFDF President Robert Rauch warned about excessive financial dependence on Olympic revenues during the International Federations Forum. He highlighted that many federations rely heavily on Olympic funding. WFDF was also recognized for strong institutional governance, ranking second in the ARISF governance review with a score of 84 out of 100. Rauch also discussed the need to attract younger demographics to the Olympics and the WFDF's ongoing dialogue for inclusion in the Brisbane 2032 Games.

AIMS and ARISF collaborate to support federations seeking IOC recognition, aiming to empower athletes and strengthen federations for Olympic participation. They work together to prepare federations for ARISF membership and eventual Olympic inclusion, emphasizing athlete-centered values, integrity, and clean sport. This partnership includes strategic alliances with WADA and ITA to provide necessary resources. AIMS and ARISF, led by Stephan Fox and Raffaele Chiulli respectively, represent over 60 international federations.
