United World Wrestling

Founded as the Amateur-Athleten-Weltunion in 1905, which governed both weightlifting and wrestling. In 1912, the organization took the name Internationaler Weltverband für Schwerathletik, changing to Internationaler Amateur-Weltverband für Schwerathletik only one year later (1913). In 1920, the wrestling and weightlifting federations separated. This organization was known originally as the Fédération Internationale des Luttes Amateur. It later became the Fédération Internationale des Luttes Associées until September 2014, when it re-branded itself as United World Wrestling.
