The first IFA World Tour Major tournament is firmly in Brazilian hands. The women of SOGIPA won their second title in the second tournament of the season at their home tournament. In the men’s competition, Sociedade Ginastica Novo Hamburgo topped the World Tour with a win at Copa Porto Alegre.

In the women’s competition, the only team from Europe – FBC ASKÖ Linz-Urfahr – fought their way to the final. There, the home team of SOGIPA prevailed and claimed their second tournament win in the second tournament of the season. With 1500 points, the Brazilians are at the top of the World Tour Ranking. Last year, the SOGIPA team already won the World Tour season in impressive style, winning 6 tournaments in as many participations.

SG Novo Hamburgo, the winner of the 2022 World Tour, is also back at the top of the men’s ranking. With the victory at the Major tournament in Porto Alegre, Novo Hamburgo climbed back to the top of the table. In the final, Ginastica beat Clube Merces and was able to celebrate the tournament victory.

The Copa Porto Alegre was attended by 320 athletes from 55 teams in 10 different categories, with 170 matches played.

Already on Easter weekend the next World Tour event will take place. At the first tournament of the season in Rosario, Argentina, the teams will fight for 500 points.
