Seb Coe Vows to Invest More Revenues to IAAF Member Federations

International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) Presidential candidate Seb Coe has promised to ensure that the IAAF invests more revenues more directly to its Member Federations for development purposes if he is to be elected as President.

Coe is going head to head with Sergey Bubka to become the successor to Lamine Diack as IAAF president.

Coe has also promised a full review of IAAF Development Programmes to ensure they are better tailored to meet the specific requirements of Member Federations and their local needs.

“After travelling the world and meeting so many of the hard working representatives of IAAF Member Federations, I am convinced that the time has come to ensure that IAAF redistributes more revenues more directly to its Member Federations for development purposes,” Seb Coe said.

“I will reveal more details about this plan and my commitments nearer to the Congress in Beijing, but the principle is clear: these reserves do not belong to the IAAF - they belong to all the Member Federations and should now be invested to develop and grow the sport worldwide.
