The Tommy Wiking-led IFAF has announced the appointment of new committee members after a meeting held October 12.
The Competitions Committee, Officiating Committee, Technical Committee, Medical and Anti-Doping Committee, Marketing and Commercial Committee and the Rules of the Game Committee all appointed new members.
In addition, this IFAF has introduced the Entourage, which apparently is similar to the IOC Athlete’s Entourage:
THE ATHLETE’S ENTOURAGE COMPRISES ALL THE PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ATHLETES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, MANAGERS, AGENTS, COACHES, PHYSICAL TRAINERS, MEDICAL STAFF, SCIENTISTS, SPORTS ORGANISATIONS, SPONSORS, LAWYERS AND ANY PERSON PROMOTING THE ATHLETE’S SPORTING CAREER, INCLUDING FAMILY MEMBERS.
Lastly, members have been appointed to the Disciplinary Council and staff members have also been added.
Notable additions include Mikael Roos of Sweden who has been added to the Competitions Committee. Roos organized the recent IFAF Flag Football World Championships in Florida.
Other notable names include the chairman of the German Football League, Carsten Dalkowski. A total of 17 different nations are represented on the various committees.
