“The IFFSR is striving to expand the base of falconry sports as part of a clear future plan to ensure its sustainability and competitiveness internationally.”
As part of its mandate, the federation is working to foster close coordination between various national and international partners to streamline the global governance of the sport, develop rules and regulations for falconry sports and create the strong base needed for the sport to thrive internationally.
