Building on a Proud Record of Delivery

Focused on the Needs of Our Member Clubs

Your team for 2026 - 2029

To All FIA Member Clubs,

On behalf of the leadership team, we write to you today to confirm that we are seeking re-election to continue serving the Federation.

Over the past term, we have worked closely with you to deliver the reform and renewal that the FIA required.

A lot has been done — but there is more to do.

Enclosed with this letter you will find two important documents:

  1. Our Manifesto 2026–2029 – setting out a clear programme of priorities for the next term, centred on stronger governance, greater transparency, enhanced support for clubs, and an FIA that is both financially sustainable and globally respected.
  2. The Results Scorecard – highlighting the tangible progress made over the past year, including delivery on key pledges, new initiatives that directly support members, and measurable improvements in the way the FIA operates.
    Your encouragement and engagement give us the confidence to continue this journey together. We are proud of the partnership we have built with you, our global membership, and we remain fully committed to ensuring that the FIA works for its clubs, by its clubs.

We respectfully ask for your continued trust and support in the forthcoming elections. Together we can complete the reforms we have started and secure the strong future the FIA and its members deserve.

With our thanks and best regards,

Mohammed
