Additionally the ISF qualifies teams for Olympic softball competition in coordination with the IOC.

As part of a campaign to return softball to the Olympic Games in time for 2020, in April 2013, the ISF began a process of merging with the International Baseball Federation to form a new combined federation for both sports,[3] the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC).

[4] For a list of inductees and their biographical sketches, see footnote[5] The ISF Hall of Fame has inducted members every other year since 1981.

Inductees include players, coaches, umpires, and administrators (plus individuals in the Meritorious Service category).

[7] The ISF considers some dependent territories, such as the British Virgin Islands, to be "countries" for the purposes of international competition.
