History
On 4th September 1931, seven countries (France, Czech Republic, Sweden, Poland, USA, Hungary and Italy) collaborated to establish a unified federation known as Fédération Internationale de Tir à l'Arc or FITA to promote and manage archery by standard rules and regulations.
In 1961, the federation elected a female president (Inger Frith ) and became the world's first federation to do so. It is also amongst the first sports that included women's events at the Olympic level.
The first international and annual competition circuit was launched in 2006. In 2011, the name of the federation changed to World Archery.
