About us
Winning the European Championship in the men’s division last July sparked an idea in all the players and coaches minds: what if we could achieve something bigger?
With the Worlds Ultimate Championships taking place in Australia in September 2024, the objective seems very far... In every point.
Not only Australia is thousands of kilometers away, but the costs related to such a trip are enormous. At this stage, attending the event is really just that: an idea.
Ultimate Frisbee is a wonderful sport that deserves more recognition and (financial) support. And yet, players have to bear all the costs by themselves. This is why we need help.
The World Ultimate Championship will be held from 31 August to 7 September 2024 in Gold Coast, Australia.
The event should gather around 2000+ players from all over the world and from all genders, as the tournament will be composed of the following divisions : Open, Women and Mixed.
Belgium is planning on sending at least one team, in the Open division. Being the leading European champion in that division, it would be a non-sense not to send a team to “Worlds”.
The “open” team will be composed of 26 players, and up to 3 or 4 staff members. All players are amateur, bearing all the costs by themselves. Despite some help provided by various institutions such as Adeps and Sport Vlaanderen, we estimate the costs to go up to 4,000 € per player - minimum.
It is important to stress the fact that all players put the same type of commitment as semi-professional athletes in other sports such as football (soccer) or field hockey… without earning anything out of it.
In Ultimate, there isn’t such thing as «prize money» at the end of a tournament.
Only the joy of playing… and the thrill of winning.
