14 October 2025 - The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the World Olympians Association (WOA) will further increase their joint support for Olympians. The two organisations have just renewed their partnership by signing a new Cooperation and Licence Agreement.

Building on the IOC’s longstanding support of the WOA, the Agreement is aimed at:

• enhancing the engagement and support for Olympians
• strengthening the collaboration between the two organisations; and
• strengthening the good governance which underpins the partnership.

The Agreement also focuses on maximising the impact of joint initiatives and resources to ensure that Olympians continue to be empowered to serve as role models and ambassadors of the Olympic Movement.
