A key focus will be on preparations for the 74th FIL Congress, which will take place in Berchtesgaden in June 2026. Both organizational aspects and upcoming elections will be addressed. In addition, the Executive Committee will discuss proposals regarding the FIL Statutes and the International Luge Rules (IRO), which are to be submitted to the Congress for a decision.

Other key topics include the financial report for the 2025/2026 season and the budget proposal for the coming fiscal year.

Furthermore, the Executive Committee will address several strategic and regulatory issues, including the further development of track construction guidelines and the homologation of luge tracks. The initial planning for the 2030 Winter Olympics in the French Alps will also be part of the Executive Committee meeting.

“The Executive Committee meeting is a key building block for the further development of our sport. This is where the groundwork is laid for important decisions that we will adopt at the Congress together with our member federations,” said FIL President Einars Fogelis ahead of the meeting.

In addition to the official sessions, the meeting also offers an opportunity for personal exchange among the Executive Committee members, who are traveling from various nations.
