Our Mission

World Powerlifting United stands as a beacon of strength, unity and inclusivity, dedicated to fostering a global community bound by the shared passion for powerlifting. Our mission is rooted in the belief that powerlifting transcends borders, cultures and backgrounds, bringing together individuals from all walks of life under the common pursuit of strength and excellence.

At the core of the WPU's foundation are unwavering principles of inclusivity. We strive to create a powerlifting community that embraces diversity, recognizing that strength comes in many forms. Our commitment to inclusivity extends beyond the lifting platform, encompassing every aspect of our organisation, from governance to competition. We firmly believe that by fostering an environment where all athletes, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, or ability, feel welcome and valued, we enrich the tapestry of powerlifting and strengthen the bonds that unite us.
