ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

The Brazil Strongman Federation is the official federação nacional for Strongman sport across the Americas, operating under the World Strongman International Union.

THE REAL SPORT

Strongman is more than a show — it is a professional speed-power all-around discipline. We bridge the gap between ancient cultural heritage and modern athletic standards.

The Brazil Strongman Federation was established to unite national federations across the American continent, providing a unified framework for competition, athlete development, and the promotion of strength sport at every level.

OUR MANDATE

As the federação nacional, BSF is responsible for organising and sanctioning competitions across the Americas, managing the qualification system for the World Strongman Championship.

"Building a unified strength community across the Americas — from Tokyo to Tehran, from Almaty to Jakarta."
