A Quick Guide: What is the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP)?
08.06.2026
Co-organized by the Macao Post and Telecommunications Bureau (CTT) and the Macao Philatelic Association under the patronage of the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP) and the auspices of the Federation of Inter-Asian Philately (FIAP), the Macao 2026 Specialized World Stamp Exhibition features over 1,500 frames of precious exhibits and more than 40 sales booths. Admission to the exhibition is free.
- ◆ Understanding the FIP: The Supreme Authority in Philately
Founded in 1926, the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP) is a non profit world federation for philately. A Specialized world stamp exhibition which has gained FIP patronage is considered one of the highest honours in the philatelic world, ensuring the pinnacle of exhibition standards.
- ◆ A Historic First for Macao × The FIP Centenary
Following the success of organizing the "35th Asian International Stamp Exhibition" in 2018, Macao once again takes center stage in the global philatelic community. This exhibition is the first global-scale philatelic event to be held in Macao. It also serves as one of the major highlights of the FIP’s centenary celebrations. The synergy between these two milestones endow this cultural extravaganza with irreplaceable historical significance.
We cordially invite you to visit "Macao 2026" and witness this dual celebration of the FIP’s century-long authority and the beauty of philatelic culture.
