Transparency and widespread stakeholder engagement key to campaign process 


The nomination process for the 2027 World Athletics Council elections has been launched ahead of the World Athletics Elective Congress in Beijing, China. 

This Elective Congress, which is due to be held immediately before the World Athletics Championships in September 2027, will elect the World Athletics President, four Vice Presidents and 13 individual Council Members for the next term (2027-2031), in accordance with the World Athletics Constitution and Rules & Regulations. 

The campaign period begins on 1 March 2026 with all nominations received by 1 June 2027. All candidates must first apply to the Vetting Panel by 31 March 2027 and be declared eligible in order to be nominated by their Member Federation’s Board.

As part of the term limits for Council members, World Athletics Presidents are elected for a maximum of three four-year terms – a central component of the sweeping governance reforms Sebastian Coe himself introduced in 2016 after he was elected to lead the organisation.  

Reflecting on his presidency so far, and what lies ahead for the sport, Coe said: “Leading World Athletics over the last decade has been an immense honour and privilege and one that I have thoroughly enjoyed. 

“Running for President, Vice President, or Council member comes with a huge amount of responsibility and accountability. The decisions World Athletics needs to make over the next decade are as crucial as those we have made in the last decade, albeit on a much sounder and more stable foundation. 

“As elected members to govern athletics, we are caretakers doing all we can to improve and grow our sport so that we can hand it over to others in the best shape possible so they too can improve and grow athletics around the world.” 

The 2027 election is a competency-based process under the oversight of the independent Election Oversight Panel (EOP), with the support of the independent Vetting Panel. All candidates and Member Federations are bound by World Athletics’ Integrity Code of Conduct.

The EOP ensures that the organisation, running, and supervision of the elections are of the highest integrity, and that candidates conduct their candidacy with honesty, fairness and respect for others. The Vetting Panel ensures only candidates who meet World Athletics’ high integrity standards are eligible to stand for election.  

With the objective of carrying out the most transparent election process possible and in order to help ensure the most qualified candidates are elected, all participants will be provided with multiple opportunities to engage in presentations and discussions with the membership of World Athletics. 

More information on the elections is available in the Candidate Pack, which can be downloaded from the World Athletics Library.

Ouverture du processus de candidature pour les élections au Conseil de World Athletics 2027

La transparence et une large mobilisation des parties prenantes au cœur du processus de campagne


Le processus de candidature pour les élections 2027 au Conseil de World Athletics a été lancé, en amont du Congrès électoral de World Athletics qui se tiendra à Pékin (Chine).

Ce Congrès électoral, prévu immédiatement avant les Championnats du monde de World Athletics en septembre 2027, élira le président de World Athletics, quatre vice-présidents et 13 membres du Conseil à titre individuel pour le prochain mandat (2027-2031), conformément aux Statuts ainsi qu’aux règles et règlements de World Athletics.

La période de campagne débute le 1er mars 2026, toutes les candidatures devant être reçues au plus tard le 1er juin 2027. Tous les candidats doivent d’abord soumettre une demande au Panel de vérification d’éligibilité avant le 31 mars 2027 et être déclarés éligibles afin de pouvoir être recommandés par l’organe exécutif de leur fédération membre. Le président de World Athletics est élu pour un maximum de trois mandats de quatre ans, disposition centrale des vastes réformes de gouvernance introduites par Sebastian Coe en 2016, après son élection à la tête de l’organisation.

Revenant sur son mandat à ce jour et sur les perspectives de notre sport, Coe a déclaré : « Diriger World Athletics au cours de la dernière décennie a constitué un immense honneur et privilège, une responsabilité que j’ai eu le plus grand plaisir à exercer.

« Se porter candidat à la présidence, à la vice-présidence ou au poste de membre du Conseil implique un degré très élevé de responsabilité et d’obligation de rendre compte. Les décisions que World Athletics devra prendre au cours de la prochaine décennie seront tout aussi déterminantes que celles adoptées au cours de la précédente, bien que reposant désormais sur des bases bien plus solides et stables.

« En tant que membres élus chargés de gouverner l’athlétisme, nous sommes des dépositaires, œuvrant sans relâche à l’amélioration et au développement de notre sport afin de le transmettre dans les meilleures conditions possibles à celles et ceux qui nous succéderont, pour qu’à leur tour elles et ils puissent faire progresser l’athlétisme dans le monde entier. »

Les élections de 2027 reposent sur un processus fondé sur les compétences, placé sous la supervision du Panel indépendant de supervision des élections (EOP), avec le soutien du Panel indépendant de vérification d’éligibilité. Tous les candidats et les fédérations membres sont liés par le Code de conduite en matière d’intégrité de World Athletics.

L’EOP veille à ce que l’organisation, le déroulement et la supervision des élections répondent aux exigences les plus élevées en matière d’intégrité et à ce que les candidats mènent leur campagne avec honnêteté, équité et respect d’autrui. Le Panel de vérification d’éligibilité garantit que seuls les candidats répondant aux exigences élevées d’intégrité de World Athletics peuvent être déclarés éligibles à l’élection.

Afin de mener le processus électoral le plus transparent possible et de contribuer à l’élection des candidates et candidats les plus qualifiés, tous les participants disposeront de plusieurs occasions de présenter leur candidature et d’échanger avec les membres de World Athletics.

De plus amples informations sur les élections figurent dans le dossier de candidature, disponible en téléchargement dans la bibliothèque numérique de World Athletics.
