The president of TAFISA Dr. Kang-Too Lee from Korea was elected for four-year term in Autumn of 2009. The TAFISA secretariat and the Secretary-General Wolfgang Baumann are located in Frankfurt (Germany).

Every four years TAFISA organizes the world physical culture, sports and cultural games-festival with thousands of locals and guests from other countries, while the first one did not attract so large number of  participants.
The main goal of the Games is to promote diversity of national cultures,  cooperation, peace and welfare by sport.

Differently from the professional sport games victory is not the priority whilst, the Games are  traditional and accessible sport for all.

One of the UNESCO commitments is to preserve and develop the traditional sport. Therefore, the world sports for all games and  national culture concept promoted by TAFISA highlights the  significance of the  national identity  striving for a peaceful cohesion.

The 5th TAFISA World  Sport for All Games Siauliai 2012 will reflect this endeavor.

The Siauliai 2012 program will include: traditional sporting contests, demonstration sport events, contests for people with disabilities, championships, musical and cultural events, scientific conferences and seminars.
