🤝World OCR joins two major international sports-industry development platforms

We are pleased to announce its involvement with two international sports-industry events taking place this year: the Athlete 360 Conference, and the 2nd World Stadiums & Arenas Summit.

For World OCR, this partnership reflects two important dimensions of how we believe an international sports federation should develop.

1️⃣The first dimension is the OCR athlete.

Athlete 360 looks at the complete athlete-development pathway - from grassroots participation and talent development to high performance, sports science, health, recovery, coaching, technology and long-term athlete wellbeing. These are areas that are increasingly relevant to World OCR as we continue to extend our international reach.

Building OCR internationally cannot be limited to creating competitions. It also means understanding how we can help OCR athletes prepare better, perform better and develop within stronger coaching and performance environments.

2️⃣The second dimension is the environment in which sport happens.

The World Stadiums & Arenas Summit brings together sports federations, venue developers, government stakeholders, architects, operators and other industry leaders around the future of sports infrastructure, innovation and sustainable event venues. Its 2026 programme also includes discussion around multi-sport venues, community sport, athlete pathways and the development of sporting infrastructure beyond traditional stadium models.

For obstacle-based sports, this is particularly relevant. The future growth of OCR and OCRATHLON will depend not only on athletes and organizers, but also on access to appropriate venues, training environments, obstacle infrastructure and partners capable of supporting events in new markets.

There is growing uncertainty around the future of OCR as an independent sport.

World OCR offers a clear international pathway, and it can provide it now.

Our framework supports the continued development of traditional OCR formats alongside OCRATHLON, while giving national organizations, event operators and other key stakeholders a practical structure to grow participation, build competition pathways and connect directly to an international federation.

Building the operational capacity of World OCR national organizations

The purpose of an International Federation is not only to organize championships. It is to support and empower its national members to grow stronger, develop their sport, and deliver more for their communities.

Through the World OCR framework, national organizations can access international cooperation, project-development support, practical tools, and opportunities to participate in EU-funded initiatives.

🇪🇺Our ongoing Erasmus+ Sport-supported initiatives demonstrate this approach in practice: building the operational capacity of OCR organizations to deliver safer, and better-quality OCR events for all inter-generational age groups within their national programs.

🏋️Better OCR coaches. Stronger OCR Athletes.
World OCR delivers University-level structured OCR coaching education, helping local coaches gain the knowledge needed to support athletes across different ages and levels of participation.

🏁Investing in the people who make OCR safe, and fair competition possible.
World OCR develops and certifies technical officials in OCR and OCRATHLON, strengthening the expertise national organizations need to deliver safe, consistent, and well-organized events.

Connecting with World OCR can help your organization identify European funding opportunities, build project partnerships, and develop proposals that strengthen its capacity at home.

🇪🇺Our Erasmus+ Sport initiative is moving forward.

From August 23–30 2026, at the NSU Tata Olympic Center in Hungary, World OCR will operate the first program of its kind under our framework.
