IWAS is the International Governing Body (IF) for the Paralympic Programme Sport of Wheelchair Fencing and also governs the sport of Electric Wheelchair Hockey.
The Federation has developed strong working relationships as its sports have moved from IWAS (ISMWSF/ISOD) to independency or IPC governance, to ensure that its membership and the sports still benefit from opportunity in the IWAS Games programme.
