Broad incumbents

• International Paralympic Committee (IPC): Global governing body of the Paralympic Movement. Comparable to FISDIR as the international authority for Paralympic sport, with FISDIR operating under its broader framework through CIP.
• Virtus (International Sports Federation): International governing body for sport for athletes with intellectual disabilities. FISDIR is a member federation; comparable as the supranational counterpart that sets rules and organizes world-level competitions.
• Special Olympics International: Global organization providing sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Comparable to FISDIR through its mandate and athlete population, though at a global scale and with a different program philosophy.
• Comitato Italiano Paralimpico (CIP): Italian Paralympic Committee and umbrella organization under which FISDIR operates. Compares as a broader governing body that coordinates multiple disability-specific federations (including FISDIR) and manages national paralympic team activities.

Direct peers

• Special Olympics Italia: Italian chapter of Special Olympics International, providing sports training and competition for people with intellectual disabilities. Closely comparable to FISDIR in target population and program philosophy, though operating as a multi-national NGO rather than a national federation.

Comparable to FISDIR's international peer organizations, providing competition pathways and governance for the same athlete category.
