FIFTA congress decides hosts for 2027 and 2028

The congress of the International Football Tennis Federation (FIFTA) met under the chairmanship of Şevket Songur, who is the FIFTA President and also the President of the TRNC Football Tennis Federation. The meeting was attended by representatives of the countries taking part in the World Championship, and it discussed the international development of the sport and the organization calendar for the coming years.

The congress decided that the 2027 European Championship will be held in Istanbul. The host of the 2028 World Championship will be Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. FIFTA's 2027 congress will also be held in Slovakia in April. The federation's growth targets are expected to be addressed at that meeting.

One of the most important decisions taken was the creation of sub-federations on five continents under the FIFTA umbrella. The aim is to develop organization in Asia, Europe, Africa, America and Oceania. In this way, the goal is to strengthen continental coordination and bring new countries into the sport.

The congress also decided that international championships will be held every year. The newly established FIFTA CUP tournament will be played in June or July. Teams that have won their own country's league or national competitions are expected to take part in the tournament.
