Ferriani first took up the role in 2020, concluding the term of Gian Franco Kasper who left the role early and was re-elected in May.

In July, he was re-elected president of the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation governing body for a fourth term, and as head of the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) he presided over the recent vote by members to dissolve the body.

Ferriani is also president of SportAccord, the annual world sport and business summit in which GAISF member organizations will have more of a stake following the dissolution, and a member of the International Olympic Committee.

According to insidethegames, Kim Jae-youl, Einars Fogelis, Beau Welling, and Olle Dahlin were all also reinstated as AIOWF Council members at the general assembly.
