Did you know…?
…that INTERPOL has just turned 100? The special birthday was celebrated during the General Assembly, held from 27 to 30 November in Vienna, Austria, in recognition of the fact that this is the city where INTERPOL was created in 1923.
INTERPOL-IOC collaboration
The IOC and INTERPOL have partnered since 2014 to assist in the protection of sports integrity through capacity-building and training across the globe – making it one of the longest-running partnerships in the fight against competition manipulation, reaching over 10,000 participants so far.
Friedrich Martens, Head of the OM Unit PMC, said this about the 100th anniversary: “Thanks to the IOC-INTERPOL integrity in sport partnership, the global fight against competition manipulation has been taken to a higher level. Global awareness has increased and states are more ready than ever to fight the phenomenon. Happy Birthday to INTERPOL and sincere thanks for the ongoing cooperation in supporting the integrity of sports competitions.”
