World Camelids Sport (WCS), originally founded in 2019 as the International Camel Racing Federation (ICRF), is dedicated to advancing camelid sports worldwide. In November 2024, the organization rebranded to reflect its broader focus on all sports involving camels, llamas, and alpacas.
WCS promotes and preserves camel racing, a sport with widespread popularity in the Middle East, parts of Asia, and North Africa, while expanding its reach to include other camelid species globally. In addition to hosting international competitions, WCS prioritizes the welfare of both jockeys and camelids, fostering safe, sustainable, and inclusive practices for the future of the sport.
