Our Story

Four Decades of Athletic Excellence

The Mercantile Athletic Federation (M.A.F) was founded on 7th September 1982 at the Ceylon Tours office on Parsons Road, Colombo 02, with the support of over 30 mercantile sector firms. What began as a modest initiative has grown into Sri Lanka's most prestigious corporate athletics body.

MAF was the first organisation to introduce Veterans (Masters) Athletics in Sri Lanka in 1985, and has since represented the nation at World Veterans Games, Asian Masters Championships, and numerous international competitions.
