At the FIQ Congress held at the KITEC centre in Hong Kong on Tuesday, September 13, the proposal by the presidiums of the World Tenpin Bowling Association (WTBA), the World Ninepin Bowling Association (WNBA) and the Federation Internationale des Quilleurs (FIQ)  that the management of the two sports be by WTBA for tenpin bowling and WNBA for the ninepin, was adopted.

The FIQ will maintain the bid for inclusion of bowling in the Olympic program.

A unanimous vote by the delegates with a voting strength of 181 for the adoption of the proposal means that in future Mr Kevin Dornberger will be the FIQ as well as WTBA President and Mr Ludwig Kocsis, President of WNBA will be the FIQ Vice-President.

The next Congress shall take place in 2015.
