In December 2020, the international Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld sanctions against athletes representing Russia at international events, a ban that remains active through December 16, 2022. Because WFDF is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and complies with regulations issued by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), ultimate is among the sports affected.
WFDF has since emailed the Russian Flying Disc Federation with more details on what this ban means for Russian teams participating in international play over the next two years. According to the email, Russian athletes will still be able to compete at WFDF events during the ban, but will not be able to officially represent the Russian Federation. They must instead join WFDF tournaments as “neutral athletes.”

16 of 17 European teams have qualified for the main round of the 2021 Men’s World Championship in Egypt. As four European teams clashed in group E - Switzerland had replaced USA after several COVID-19 cases in their team- it was obvious that one of them would miss the main round and would have to continue in the Presidents Cup for the positions 25 to 32.
Thanks to their outstanding playmaker Andy Schmid, Switzerland beat Austria in their opener 28:25, arriving directly from the airport to the playing hall, and managed to proceed in their first World Championship in 26 years.
