The organisation's secretary general Hrvoje Custonja said that there could be an U12 Gymnasiade in 2025.

The first ISF U18 Gymnasiade was held in 1974 in Wiesbaden and the most recent one was staged in Normandy last year.

Bahrain is set to host the U18 Gymnasiade next year.

The U15 Gymnasiade is only two editions old with the first one held in Belgrade in 2021, followed by the second one here.

Custonja added that the organisation is now "working on" the idea for an U12 event.

"We felt the need to go down in the age category of the events for the kids," the Croatian national said.

"After seeing the success of the U15 Gymnasiade, we thought it was time to engage kids aged 10, 11 and 12.

"The possibility to give them an international environment is exciting.

"It will change the lives of these kids.

"We are working on that. It is going to be a reality soon."

Custonja highlighted that ISF is constantly trying to reinvent itself with new ideas.

He pointed to the SHE RUNS – ACTIVE GIRLS'LEAD event that was introduced in 2019, aimed at "promoting girls' health, empowerment and leadership" as an example.

The grassroots event, also two editions old, focuses on the need for gender equality in sport.

The second new initiative from the organisation is the World Teacher Games.

The teachers-only event is being planned to expand on the educational activities of ISF, including the academy.

Custonja said that education of teachers, is crucial to developing school sports.

"We are planning to have the first edition of the World Teacher Games in 2024.

"The event is confirmed, and we are trying to decide a host city.

"It will see a lot of educational activities and sport.

"But the primary goal of the event is education.

"The goal will be to involve 50 countries and 1,000 participants in the first edition.

"We will invite more International Federations to conduct the courses."
