To the Global Sports Family, Executive Committee, All Commission Members, and Our Member Federations,
As we stand at the threshold of 2026, I extend my warmest New Year greetings and deepest appreciation to every member of our vibrant global sports community. This moment of reflection fills me with immense pride for our collective journey and renewed hope for the future we will build together.
The past year has been a vivid demonstration of sport’s unifying power and the effective execution of our network. From the splendid successes of events such as the World and Asian Bodybuilding & Fitness Championships, the International and Asian Judo Championships, the European and Italian Soft Darts Championships, and various international, continental, and national martial arts and combat sports competitions, to the pioneering efforts of the Mind Sports and Esports Commissions, each federation has demonstrated exceptional standards. I, too, have been deeply inspired: whether it was inspecting and supporting the preparations for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, participating in and supporting the organization of the Asian Youth Games and the Southeast Asian Games, or visiting Korea, Thailand, and Shandong Vocational University of Foreign Affairs in China to discuss and sign agreements on the integration of sports and education and international cooperation. All these experiences have allowed me to deeply feel the vibrant dynamism of our cause. All of this is in practice of our core vision: to be a leading authority in global sports development and to build a World Sports Center that promotes peace.
Looking ahead, 2026 presents a canvas for ambitious action. Our focus remains steadfast on empowering our over 370 member federations through enhanced collaboration, shared resources, and pioneering programs. We will intensify our support for the vital work of all our Commissions—from fostering gender equality in sport through our Women Sport Committee to nurturing future generations via the School Activities Committee. Let us champion the values of integrity, inclusion, and sustainable development in every discipline, from martial arts to emerging sports.
My sincere gratitude goes to the Executive Committee, the dedicated members of all Commissions, and every international, continental, and national federation. Your passion is the engine of GAWSF. Let us step into 2026 with shared determination and a true passion for sport, committed to transforming the sports paradigm for the benefit of athletes and communities worldwide.
I wish you and your loved ones a year filled with health, outstanding achievements, and inspiring moments.
With best regards,
Dr. CHE KUONG HON
Chairman of the Executive Committee
General Association of World Sports Federations (GAWSF)
致全球体育界、总会执委会、各委员会成员及各会员联合会的同仁们：
值此2026年新年伊始，我谨向世界体育大家庭的每一位成员，致以最诚挚的问候和最衷心的感谢！在这辞旧迎新的时刻，回顾我们共同走过的旅程，我倍感自豪；展望即将谱写的篇章，我充满信心。
过去的一年，是体育凝聚力与总会网络执行力生动展现的一年。从世界及亞洲健美健身锦标赛、国际及亚洲柔道锦标赛、欧洲及意大利软式飞镖锦标赛、各项国际、洲际及国家武搏大赛等賽事的精彩纷呈，到智力运动、电子竞技委员会的开拓进取，各联合会均展现了卓越水准。我本人亦深受鼓舞：无论是考察及支持2026年爱知·名古屋亚运会筹备工作，参与及支持亚洲青年运动会、东南亚运动会的组织工作，还是到访韩国、泰国及中国山东外事职业大学共商及签署体教融合与国际合作协议，都让我深切感受到我们事业的蓬勃活力。这一切都在践行我们的核心愿景：成为全球体育发展的引领权威，建设一个促进和平的世界体育中心。
展望2026，我们当雄心勃勃，携手行动。总会将坚定不移地致力于通过深化协作、共享资源和开创性项目，赋能全球370多个会员联合会。我们将进一步支持各委员会的关键工作——从通过妇女体育委员会促进性别平等，到依托学校活动委员会培育未来一代。让我们在从武术到新兴项目的各个领域，共同捍卫诚信、包容与可持续发展的体育价值。
在此，我要向执委会全体同仁、各委员会的辛勤成员，以及每一个国际、洲际和国家/地区联合会，表达诚挚的谢意。你们的热情是GAWSF前进的动力。让我们怀揣坚定的决心与对体育的真挚热爱，步入2026年，共同致力于革新体育发展范式，为全球运动员和社区创造福祉。
祝愿大家及家人新年安康，再创辉煌，共享体育带来的无限激励！
此致
谢广汉 博士
