The 29th IAKS Congress convened in Cologne, Germany, from 28-31 October 2025, under the theme "Creating high-performing facilities for an active future." TAFISA President and Secretary General represented the organization at this significant event, where they had the opportunity to congratulate Darryl Condon (Canada) on his election as the new IAKS President.
During the Congress, productive working meetings were held with IAKS CEO Klaus Meinel and newly appointed Vice-President Steffen Strasser, whose organization, Playparc, is a TAFISA member. These discussions explored potential future collaborations and examined how integrating sport facility planning and infrastructure development with Sport for All policies, strategies, and initiatives could create enhanced opportunities for participation in sport and physical activity in the years ahead.
