Finnish Multicultural Sports Federation
The Finnish Multicultural Sports Federation FIMU was founded by immigrants and Finns in 1999, for the benefit of all immigrant people in Finland. Fimu has been affiliated with the Finnish Sports Federation (FSF) since autumn 2000, and became the member of the Olympic Committee in June 2017.
