Sports federations bring together sports associations.
They may bring together as members, under the conditions laid down in their articles of association:
1° Individuals to whom they issue licences directly;
2° Profit-making organisations whose purpose is the practice of one or more of their disciplines and which they authorise to issue licences;
3° Organisations whose purpose is not the practice of one or more of their disciplines but which contribute to the development of one or more of these disciplines;
4° Sports associations.
