World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF)

The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) is the international governing body for the sport of flying disc, which includes disciplines like ultimate frisbee, disc golf, freestyle, and more. Founded in 1985, WFDF's mission is to promote the growth and development of flying disc sports worldwide, overseeing international competitions, establishing rules and standards, and supporting national flying disc organizations.

WFDF is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), which helps to elevate the sport's global profile. The organization also works to enhance the visibility of flying disc sports through various tournaments, including the World Ultimate Club Championships, World Disc Golf Championships, and the World Games.

The Federation plays a vital role in the development of the sport at all levels, from grassroots to elite competition, offering resources to players, coaches, and officials. WFDF emphasizes the importance of sportsmanship, fairness, and community, aligning with the spirit of ultimate frisbee, which is famously governed by the "Spirit of the Game" ethos, where players are responsible for their own actions on the field.

Through its global initiatives, WFDF aims to foster inclusivity, diversity, and sustainable growth of flying disc sports, while striving for continued recognition within the wider sports community.
