History of IFST
The International Finance Sports Tournament (IFST) was born from the vision of uniting European financial administrations through the spirit of sportsmanship, cultural exchange, and fair play.
What began as a small gathering has evolved over the decades into a prestigious biennial event. It serves as a vital platform for colleagues from across Europe to build lasting friendships, strengthen international cooperation, and compete at a high level in a variety of disciplines.
A Tradition of Excellence
Each edition of the tournament is hosted by a different participating nation, showcasing the unique culture and hospitality of the host country. From the football pitches to the chess boards, the IFST has witnessed countless moments of athletic brilliance and camaraderie.
The 2026 edition in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg proudly carries this torch forward, welcoming dedicated delegations from Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, and Luxembourg to celebrate this enduring tradition of European unity.
