The Fair Play has been brought to the agenda of national Olympic Commissions, which are all affiliated with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), following the recognition of the International Fair Play Committee (CIFP) by the IOC in 1981. The first Fair Play Commission in Turkey was formed at a meeting of TOC Board of Directors convened under the Chairmanship of Turgut Atakol on November 17, 1981. TOC has been organizing Turkish Fair Play Awards since this date in order to promote the concept of Fair Play across the country and encourage citizens to make Fair Play an integral part of their daily lives. The efforts in this regard are carried out by TOC Fair Play Commission.
