A message from the WOA President

1 | 4 | 2026

Dear Members, Dear Fellow Olympians,

I know that we have all been looking forward to the World Olympians Forum in Monaco. Sadly, due to the geopolitical situation in the world right now, we believe it is not the right moment to have you all traveling. Rest assured, we are looking to find a new possibility at a later stage when the conditions are more favourable. 

As Olympians we must stay united and promote peace in the world. You, your NOA and your fellow Olympians, are needed now more than ever. As Olympians we have shown the impact we can have over and over again both on the field of play and in our communities.

Keep focusing on making the world a better place via your local, regional, national and international projects, both personally and through your NOA. We want to hear all about what you are doing. Send your stories to our Development Officers or our CEO and we will continue to publish them on our website and social media. And we look forward to hearing about them in person when we meet at the World Olympians Forum. 

Best Olympian Regards,

Pernilla Wiberg OLY President
