Fédération internationale catholique d'éducation physique et sportive

The Fédération internationale catholique d'éducation physique et sportive (FICEP) is an international nongovernmental organization (INGO) which governs all Catholic sports associations. The FICEP was founded between 1906 and 1911, under the auspices of the Italian federation FASCI, the Belgium federation FBCG, and the Fédération sportive et culturelle de France. Its development has mainly been confined to Europe, in spite of various and recurrent attempts to increase its geographical expansion after World War II.
