Slovenia wins youth FootGolf team gold at Germany 2026 World Cup

Slovenia took the gold medal in the ages 13-15 team competition at the FIFG Youth FootGolf World Cup Germany 2026, finishing ahead of Slovakia and Spain on the final leaderboard posted for the event in Gahlenz. The result gave the youth championship its first clear podium from the team event and put three European federations at the top of the table.

The final order mattered because the team format is where federation depth shows up fastest. Slovenia's first-place finish points to a balanced junior program in the younger age bracket, while Slovakia's runner-up result and Spain's third-place finish underline how established FootGolf nations are crowding the top of the youth game. FIFG had already shown how close the contest was, with Slovenia and Slovakia sharing the lead at -2 and France and Germany tied just five minutes before the 4:00 PM start.

The championship is being staged in Gahlenz, Germany, under FIFG's official framework and with Deutscher Footgolf Verband e.V. as host. FIFG says delivery is being handled by a dedicated organizing committee supported by experienced FootGolf officials, volunteers and regional partners, a structure that gives the youth event the feel of a major international championship rather than a standalone age-group meet.

The team competition was posted on July 14, 2026, and sits alongside a tournament schedule that also includes a second round of singles on July 18 and a final round of singles on July 19. That timeline makes the team medal an early marker in the week, and Slovenia's gold, Slovakia's silver and Spain's bronze now stand as one of the clearest competitive signals from Germany as the junior event unfolds.
