Recognised Territorial Bodies
The IOF also has a category of entities referred to as a recognised territorial body. One territory is granted this status by the IOF Council:
- French New Caledonia
A recognised territorial body is an organisation that is responsible for orienteering in an external territory[1] of a country[2] which is an IOF Member.
A recognised territorial body has the following rights:
- The right for its affiliated individuals to participate under the affiliation of the territorial body in IOF Regional Championships (including Junior and Youth Championships) within the territorial body’s region if permitted by that Regional Championship’s rules, subject to eligibility criteria as stated in the Regional Championship rules.
- The right to apply to host IOF Regional Championships (including Junior and Youth Championships) within the territorial body’s region.
- The right to participate in Regional Working Groups within the territorial body’s region, and to participate in Regional Federations to the extent allowed by the rules of that Regional Federation.
- Such other rights as are determined by the IOF and are not contrary to the Statutes.
Application to be a recognised territorial body is made to the IOF by the responsible Member Federation. There is no fee for a recognised territorial body. In considering an application to be a recognised territorial body, the IOF will consider the extent to which orienteering is established in that territory, and recognition of the body (where applicable) by sporting authorities in that territory.
The sporting nationality of individuals affiliated with a recognised territorial body for the purposes of the Competition Rules for IOF events other than Regional Championships will continue to be that of the Member Federation.
[1] For the purposes of this policy, ‘external territory’ includes administrative subdivisions of a country which are located in a different IOF Region to that to which the IOF Member Federation is affiliated (e.g. the overseas departments of France).
[2] Note that country is defined in the Statutes as an independent member of the IOC, which includes some entities which are considered external territories in other contexts (e.g. Hong Kong, Puerto Rico). This would not preclude an organisation in such an entity from being a recognised territorial body if it is not already an IOF member.
