The IFA Women’s Fistball World Championship kicked off with a festive opening ceremony. Just as the ceremony began, rain started to fall, and the event was quickly moved indoors to the gym. Representatives from the city and the region attended the official start, where all participating teams were introduced with a parade.

A special highlight of the ceremony was a performance by a regional folklore group, who captivated the audience with traditional Argentine dances, marking the start of the Welcome Dinner. With this festive opening, all attendees were set for the upcoming sporting highlights of the championship.

Before the opening ceremony, teams had the opportunity to train on the sports facility and familiarize themselves with the field conditions. During the Technical Meeting, delegation leaders received all essential information to ensure smooth operations for the days ahead.

11 teams from four continents will compete in the Women’s World Championship. All matches will be broadcasted on http://www.fistball.tv.

Due to a last-minute adjustment, the match schedule had to be slightly modified: the Friday 10 a.m. match between Namibia and the USA will now swap with Thursday’s 10 a.m. game between the USA and Colombia.
