What people say about it
"The best fistball teams in the world visit Mannheim for a week: in summer 2023, the Förderverein Faustball² was able to host the Men's World Championship, the largest international fistball event. It was great to be able to welcome a total of 16 nations and take the men's world championship to a new level. By hosting the finals in the SAP Arena, we proved that fistball can excite audiences in outstanding venues. We would like to thank the IFA for the great cooperation. "

What people say about it
The Guatambú Montecarlo Club looks back with gratitude on a special week: Hosting the Women's Fistball World Championship was a unique experience for us—labor-intensive, but full of wonderful moments and inspiring moments. The collaboration with the IFA was very good. The regular online meetings in the run-up to the event and the close exchange of information contributed significantly to the success of this event. We would also like to thank all the supporters, partners, and teams who made this tournament a fantastic event. The 2024 World Championship was an unforgettable highlight for our club and our region – and we are proud to be part of this international fistball family."
