Fédération internationale catholique d'éducation physique et sportive

The Fédération internationale catholique d'éducation physique et sportive (FICEP)[1] is an international nongovernmental organization (INGO) which governs all Catholic sports associations.

The original designation of the new institution – as it was established under the chairmanship of Count Mario di Carpegna – is named Union internationale des œuvres catholiques d'éducation physique.

[7][8] The Baron de Dieudonné (from Belgium) and Dr. Paul Michaux are elected as vice-presidents of the aforesaid UIOCEP; Charles Simon is confirmed in his General Secretary[9] nomination and it is agreed that the head office would be that of FGSPF,[10] located at Place Saint-Thomas d'Aquin 5, Paris, France.

This question, endlessly debated, will not manage to find any satisfying outcome, at least, not before the emergence of the war;[12] thus, the UIOCEP remains resolutely made of male people.

In 1927, the DJK is finally accepted, after the signing of the Treaty of Locarno, given that, henceforth, the detailed rules for the application are in the position to allow the accession of Germany[13] to the League of Nations.

The main seat remains the legacy of the FGSPF (France), which is newly baptized under the denomination of Fédération sportive française (FSF) during that same year 1947, in Paris.
