Building a Professional Global Platform for Savate

The FISav Savate Pro Organiser Accreditation Pathway provides a structured framework for the development of professional Savate events worldwide. It offers promoters a clear route for progression while ensuring that competitions are delivered to the highest standards of sporting excellence, integrity, athlete safety, and event management. Accreditation labels are approved annually, or more often if deemed necessary by the FISav.

Development Stage

The journey begins with the Development Stage, where new promoters and candidate organisers work towards becoming recognised within the Savate Pro system. Under the guidance of FISav, they develop the operational expertise and governance standards required to stage successful professional events and prepare for higher levels of accreditation.

Continental Structure

Continental Federations play a central role in the growth of Savate Pro by overseeing continental championships and supporting organisers within their regions. They help develop athletes, officials, and promoters while ensuring that events are conducted in line with FISav regulations and international best practices.

Category B – Accredited Organiser

Promoters who demonstrate consistent quality and professionalism may be recognised as Category B Accredited Organisers. This status authorises them to host International Title events and reflects their ability to deliver competitions that meet enhanced standards in event management, officiating, medical provision, athlete welfare, and production quality.

Category A – Authorised World Title Promoter

The highest level within the pathway is Category A – Authorised World Title Promoter. Reserved for organisers with an outstanding track record, this designation permits the promotion of Savate Pro World Title events and recognises the capability to deliver elite competitions suitable for global audiences and broadcast partners while upholding the highest standards of governance, integrity, and professionalism.

A Pathway of Continuous Progress

The accreditation pathway is designed to encourage growth and reward excellence rather than simply grant permission to stage events. By recognising experience and commitment to quality, it creates opportunities for organisers to progress while protecting the prestige of professional Savate competitions.

Through this structured system, FISav aims to strengthen the global professional circuit, provide athletes with world-class competitive opportunities, and ensure that every Savate Pro event reflects the values, credibility, and ambition of the sport.

From emerging promoters to Authorised World Title Promoters, every stage of the pathway contributes to a stronger, more professional future for Savate on the world stage.
