The SJA enjoys good and close relations with many other organisations, especially AIPS – the international sports journalists’ association, which was formed in 1924.
AIPS and AIPS Europe are committed to improving conditions for working journalists. In addition, they organise regular ‘Young Reporter’ schemes to help young people working in the media.
Only members of the SJA in Britain may join AIPS, and receive its internationally recognised Membership Card.
The AIPS Membership Card is recognised widely in France, by UEFA and other bodies.
The two-year membership of AIPS costs SJA members a fee of £60.
Please be aware that the AIPS Membership Card works in 2-year cycles. The 2026/2027 card is currently available.
The card is valid until the 31st of December 2027 and costs £60, no matter when you join. Please be aware of this when making payment.
