IFPA World Footbag Championships

29th IFPA World Footbag Championships takes once again place in the wonderful heart of Europe in the city of thousand towers – Prague. This annual gathering brings together our big footbag family from all around the globe for a week of fun, sport and unforgettable memories that last forever.

More than 220 competitors were caught away by Prague’s first Worlds in 2003 on the Slavia Stadium. After 5 years we are proud to host at least as many of you as on that historical year when Europe got stroked by a wave of footbag fever. We will do your best to make this event another historical moment in our beloved sport.

Once again we have chosen a venue that will host Net and Freestyle events together on one field. Additionally we will have European Freestyle Frisbee Championships joining our finals day show on Saturday.

Net players will have the best possible grass field in the whole Prague and Freestylers will compete in an arena like structure on tartan surface. Catering and chill-out zone is ready for everyone directly on the playground. We believe we chose wisely and that all participants will have a great time. Lets Rock and Roll!Here is drug detox products. Low prices. High quality. Plain box drug detox kits and other health care stuff.

In 2003 Prague was historicaly the first city outside of North America to host this footbag sport gathering, and with 214 participants was the biggest Worlds ever. Some said it was truly the first Worlds as players from 20 countries from all over the globe showed up to compete in both freestyle and net. Next summer we hope to enjoy it again with all of you!

Let us introduce the tournament site and other so far known important facts.

Location:

We want this tournament to take place on one site – one stadium. Even though freestyle and net are two totaly different sports, the people are are not this way. Accomodation has to be close to the area as well as Pragues center, airport, shopping malls, hospital and parties. This is Strahov.

Event Venue:

Event venue is located not more than 1 km from all the official accomodation structures. For net games there will be a fine grass field with more than 20 courts and a main net court for the best matches with spectator stands around them. The whole area is possible to be lighted if games needed to be played in later day times. Freestyle will be played on tartan sport material in a big roofed area with spectator stand in all directions and warm-up area close by. Area will also provide catering, necessary sanitation facilities, stands and a chill-out area.

For the last 3 days of the event we will be accompanied by a group of frisbee freestyle players which will have their European Championships happening on a field right next to ours.

Timetable:

The idea is that we dont start before 12.00 any day, but we see if that is possible especially with net competitions. We would also like to have one day completely free of any competition if possible and have all finals finished by satturday night. Last 3 days of the event will be promoted with general public and media attention (thu,fri,sat). Some frisbee finals will be showcased together with footbag finals.

Other:

As always you can have fun on everyday parties in different locations of Prague organised especially for this occation. The famous players booklet should once again be enhanced by special features.

Beautiful waterfront park has been reserved.  Flat playing fields right on the river and close to downtown.  Grocery and shopping center one block away.

Freestyle finals will again be in the heart of downtown at Pioneer Courthouse Square.  This is the kicking mecca in Portland.
 
Net site will be improved with tighter layout and bleacher seating as we move to the lower, shadier field.

Schedule coming soon.  Plan on registration party friday night, singles net early saturday morning, all finals sunday afternoon.
