The Workers' Federation of Sports (Norwegian: Arbeidernes Idrettsforbund), often just called the AIF, was a sporting organization in Norway (mostly out of Norway) between 1924 and 1946.[1] As of 1935, AIF had around 50,000 members. AIF published the magazine Arbeideridrett.[2] Several Sweden-based sports organizations were members of the AIF sports union.
In 1930 to fight the international political blockade against the Soviet Union, AIF invited the Soviet Union national football team which toured Norway and Sweden in summer of 1930.
