ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

The Asia Strongman Federation is the official continental governing body for Strongman sport across Asia, 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 Asia Strongman Federation was established to unite national federations across the Asian continent, providing a unified framework for competition, athlete development, and the promotion of strength sport at every level.

OUR MANDATE

As the continental federation, ASF is responsible for organising and sanctioning competitions across Asia, managing the qualification system for the World Strongman Championship.

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