Stay Active. Stay Connected. Explore IPA Sports!
Police officers around the world share a love for sports, fitness, and friendly competition—and at the International Police Association, we harness that passion to bring our global family together.
As a truly international organisation, IPA proudly hosts sporting events that unite officers across borders, offering a great opportunity to meet new friends, try new sports, and engage with like-minded individuals who value camaraderie and wellbeing.
The IPA Games – Our Global Sporting Stage
Held every two years, the IPA Games are the flagship event of our sporting calendar, offering a range of competitions in disciplines such as running, judo, shooting, and more. It’s not just about winning—it’s about building lasting connections and celebrating shared values through sport.
IPA World Football Tournament
We’re excited to introduce the World Football Tournament, launched in 2025! This global competition welcomes both male and female teams from around the world, creating a powerful new platform for unity, teamwork, and international friendship.
Blue Walks – Walking Together in Friendship
We also believe in the power of simply getting outside and moving together. Our annual Blue Walks initiative encourages members to gather on a specific day to walk a route in friendship—celebrating connection, health, and the IPA spirit.
From elite competition to casual community walks, IPA sports and activity events are open to all members. Whether you’re a serious athlete or just looking to stay active and meet fellow officers, there’s a place for you.
