29 June 2019
The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) is pleased to announce that the ISF World School Ultimate Championships are being held from 24-29 June 2019 in Le Mans, France. With the support of WFDF, these championships are the first championships held with the International School Sport Federation (ISF) under the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2017. The event is organized by the Union Nationale du Sport Scholaire (French School Sport Federation - UNSS) with the support of the French Federation of Flying Disc (FFFD).
Ten teams from eight countries are participating in the event with France and Belgium sending two teams each. Further countries attending the event are Colombia, Great Britain, India, Italy, Spain and Slovakia, and teams are playing in a five-a-side mixed gender competition. The finals will be played at the prestigious MMArena Stadium in Le Mans.
ISF is the world governing body dedicated to education through sport. It organises world school championships in different sporting disciplines and encourages exchanges between school students with a view to promoting better mutual understanding.
"Establishing such international school sport competition with ISF on a world level completes our events portfolio in the youth categories, in addition to WFDF’s traditional youth events which include the WFDF World Junior Ultimate Championships (WJUC) or WFDF World Under 24 Ultimate Championships (WU24)," commented WFDF President Rauch. "We strive to serve all youth client groups and offer opportunities to compete at highest international levels, in keeping with the aims of the Olympic Agenda 2020 on youth and sport."
"We are grateful to the French School Federation, the UNSS, and particularly to Cédric Hayere and Ludovic Romano from the Local Organizing Committee for their willingness to host this first edition. This has been a completely new project for WFDF in partnering with ISF and the National School Sport Federations."
