The Fédération internationale catholique d’éducation physique et sportive [1] – FICEP [1] – is an international nongovernmental organization (INGO), which governs all sports associations related to Catholicism. The FICEP has been founded between 1906 and 1911, under the auspices of the Italian federation – FASCI [2] –, as well as by the Belgium federation – FBCG [3] – and the Fédération sportive et culturelle de France [4]. Its spreading is mainly confined to Europe, in spite of various and recurrent attempts aimed to increase its geographical expansion after the World War II [5].

History

UIOCEP

In 1906, the Fédération gymnastique et sportive des patronages de France (FGSPF), the Fédération belge catholique de gymnastique (FBCG) and the FASCA (Italy) begins their first steps, in order to encourage the practice of sports throughout the diversity of catholic federations[6].

In 1908, under the auspices of Pope Pius X, in Rome, the association brings together about 2,000 participants; they come from all over the world, including: France, Belgium, Ireland, Canada and Italy.

In 1911, at the international competition of gymnastics of Nancy (France), the creation of the International Union is the result of an initiative from Dr. Paul Michaux, who is the founder and the president of the Fédération gymnastique et sportive des patronages de France. There is a plaque, which commemorates this event; it is added to the facade of the birthplace of Dr. Paul Michaux; it is located at number 8 of rue Mazelle, in Metz, (France). The original designation of the new institution – as it was established under the chairmanship of Count Mario di Carpegna – is named Union internationale des œuvres catholiques d’éducation physique[7] · [8]. The Baron de Dieudonné (from Belgium) and Dr. Paul Michaux are elected as vice-presidents of the aforesaid UIOCEP; Charles Simon is confirmed in his General Secretary[9] nomination and it is agreed that the head office would be that of FGSPF[10], located at Place Saint-Thomas d'Aquin 5, Paris, France.

December 13 – 14, 1911: all statutes and regulations are finalized and duly ratified in Rome.

At the end of year 1913, the first General Assembly of the association of athletes is held in Rome.

In 1920, the acceptance of Germany (DJK) is considered as being irrelevant by Alsatian members, given that the Avant-garde du Rhin had joined the FSGPF during the previous year. Thus, much diplomatic sense is required from Paul Michaux, in order to allow him to persuade his friend Auguste Biecheler of the potential merits relating to such an unconventional approach. That same year the presidency is entrusted to F. Van de Kerkhove[11].

Since 1922, the possibility of including women in the sports world begins to grow in the Catholic memberships of OREL (Czechoslovakia) which has already accepted women as being part and parcel of their inner structures. This question, endlessly debated, will not manage to find any satisfying outcome, at least, not before the emergence of the war[12]; thus, the UIOCEP remains resolutely made of male people.

In 1927, the DJK is finally accepted, after the signing of the Treaty of Locarno, given that, henceforth, the detailed rules for the application are in the position to allow the accession of Germany[13] to the League of Nations[13].

FICEP

On January 6, 1947, in Zurich (Switzerland), the acronym UIOCEP is altered; it is then known under the name of FICEP[19]. François Hebrard is elected President and Armand Thibaudeau is nominated as a Secretary General of the aforesaid federation[20]. The technical committee is entrusted to Gabriel Maucurier and a women's commission is eventually created with Marie-Therese Eyquem as president. The main seat remains the legacy of the FGSPF (France), which is newly baptized under the denomination of Fédération sportive française (FSF) during that same year 1947, in Paris. Attempts to extend its geographic spreading after the World War II will have little effect: like the UIOCEP, the F.I.C.E.P.[1] tends to remain fundamentally linked to its European roots[21].

In 1960, the semantic unit Fédération internationale catholique d’éducation physique is renamed; it is then known under the following name: Fédération internationale catholique d’éducation physique et sportive[1]. Notwithstanding the above addition, the acronym FICEP has remained unchanged over the forthcoming years.

In 1973, the first international camp reunites young people from various affiliated federations. Since then, the event is held each year in a different country.

In 1980, the FICEP is recognized as an international catholic organization (ICO) by the Pontifical Council for secular (CPL). The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has granted a status A to its intrinsic development, which means that, since then, it is officially recognized as being an international nongovernmental organization (INGO). As such, it participates – as an observer – to the international meetings which are held at the United Nations.

In late April 2011, the FICEP has commemorated its 100th Anniversary, in Nancy, France.
