International Automobile Federation, also known as FIA, is a privately owned organization headquartered in France. Founded in 1904, it operates with approximately 490 employees and reported $216.8M in revenue as of 2025. Functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer, the organization specializes in motorsports and cycling. It is a non-profit entity responsible for regulating and promoting motorsports worldwide, with responsibilities that include setting safety standards for motorsports, organizing and sanctioning racing events, and promoting road safety. The FIA also governs international motorsport competitions such as Formula One, the World Rally Championship, and the World Endurance Championship.
On September 18, 2026, the FIA and WRC promoter confirmed Saudi Arabia would host the final round of the 2026 FIA World Rally Championship, with FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem noting the organization had worked closely with Saudi partners and stakeholders to explore every possible route to facilitate Rally Saudi Arabia. Simultaneously, the BBC secured a three-year agreement to provide live coverage of every FIA World Rally Championship round from 2027 to 2029. Earlier on September 18, the FIA confirmed its agreement with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) for the promotion of the World Endurance Championship (WEC) would run through the end of 2027, addressing reports of an alleged dispute between the two entities. This followed the FIA's cancellation of the Saudi Arabian round of the World Rally Championship on September 17, which had been scheduled for November 11-14, an event that also raised concerns for potential impacts on Formula 1’s Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix. Previously, on September 16, the FIA and Formula 1 released the 24-event 2027 World Championship schedule, notably including 10 sprint races with one in Monaco. The uncertainty in the Middle East reportedly caused a delay in the calendar's publication compared to the previous year.
