Norges idrettsforbund og olympiske og paralympiske komité (NIF for short; short form: Norges idrettsforbund ; German Norway's sports association and Olympic and Paralympic committee ) is the national umbrella organization for sport in Norway . It is located at the Ullevaal Stadium in the House of Sports (Idrettens Hus) in Oslo . The association is Norway's largest volunteer organization with over 2 million members in more than 11,000 clubs and sports groups. It consists of 54 sports associations and 19 sports districts, which roughly correspond to the boundaries of the Fylke . At the municipal level there are 366 sports councils across the country who support the clubs in expressing their needs for sports facilities to the authorities. Measured by the number of members, football is the most popular sport in Norway, followed by skiing in second place and company sports in third place. Also Golf (4) and handball (5) count with more than 100,000 members to the popular recreational activities in the country.
Since 1952, the association awards the prize Fearnley Award (dt. "Fearnleys Olympic prize") with which to every summer and Winter Games the most successful athletes of Norway at the Olympics will be honored.
history
The forerunner of the association was founded on March 15, 1861: the Central Association for the Spread of Physical Exercise and the Use of Arms (Centralforeningen for Udbredelse af Legemsøvelser og Vaabenbrug) . The leadership in the early years saw sport as a means to strengthen the country's defensive strength. In the following years, several name changes: 1893 shortened Central Association for the spread of the sport (Central Foreningen for Udbredelse af Idræt) , 1910 in Norway's National Association for Sport (Norges Riksforbund for Idræt) and 1919 in Norway's National Association for Sport (Norges Landsforbund for Idrett) .
The biggest opponent until 1940 was the more ideological sports association of workers (Arbeidernes Idrettsforbund) from 1924. With it, the association agreed to merge the two organizations after the German occupation of Norway . Since 1946 the association has been called Norges Idrettsforbund , its current short form; its long form emerged from the mergers with the Norwegian NOK in 1996 and the disabled sports association Norges Funksjonhemmeds Idrettsforbund 2008.
Which were by the Association of Winter Olympic Games 1952 in Oslo and 1994 in Lillehammer organized.
