Welcome to the Romanian Pole Sports Federation. We are the National Governing Body for the sport of Pole, dedicated to developing pole athletes, coaches and clubs across a range of disciplines – Sport, Artistic, Ultra and Para Pole.

The Romanian Pole Fitness & Sports Federation (RPFSF) is a not for profit organisation dedicated to positively promoting pole as an athletic sport. Run by voluntary members of the Romania Pole community and created to foster the development of Pole throughout the nation, the Romanian Pole Sports Federation supports athletes, coaches, judges and enthusiasts to unify our sport.

The Romanian Pole Sports Federation is a  proud member of the International Pole Sports Federation (IPSF) who governs pole internationally, by setting in place a structured competition, coaching and education format that has been accepted by international sport governing bodies. The IPSF has been awarded Observer member status of the Global Association of International Federations (GAISF), and are Signatories of the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA).  The goal of the IPSF and the Romanian Pole Sports Federation is for the Olympic committee to recognise Pole as an official sport, and in turn eventually become part of the Olympic Games.
