Youth FootGolf World Cup Germany 2026 schedule released by FIFG

FIFG has released the Youth FootGolf World Cup Germany 2026 schedule, turning the inaugural youth championship in Gahlenz, Sachsen, Germany into a live planning exercise for coaches, families and federation officials. The order of play now gives national federations a clear road map for training camps, travel bookings, family logistics and budget decisions, with a first round of singles followed by team competition, then a second round of singles, a final round of singles and a victory ceremony.

That sequencing matters because youth FootGolf is built on more than one competitive lens. The singles rounds reward precision and nerve, while the team block forces captains to manage energy, pairings and recovery across the week rather than simply preparing for a one-off knockout match. In an age group where many players travel with parents and where school calendars and federation budgets can shape who makes the trip, the published timetable is more valuable than in senior events, where squads are usually more settled and logistics are easier to absorb.

The tournament sits under FIFG’s official framework and is hosted by Deutscher Footgolf Verband e.V., with event delivery handled by a dedicated organising committee supported by experienced FootGolf officials, volunteers and regional partners. FIFG, which was established in 2012 and describes itself as the world governing body of FootGolf, chose Germany after an initial bid round reviewed by the FIFG Youth Committee and the Board, giving the first youth world championship a formal selection path before play begins.

The field has already grown from 21 nations confirmed in one FIFG update to 22 nations in the opening-ceremony post, underlining how quickly the event has moved from announcement to full-scale international competition. FIFG also said the official draw for the Youth World Cup 2026 was completed automatically through the tournament system and witnessed by Swedish and German national federation representatives, a detail that gives teams an early look at their route through the championship and helps coaches set lineups around the published order of play.

The opening-ceremony post also listed a registration deadline of 19.2.2026, another sign that the administration behind the tournament is being run with the same precision the players will need on the course. With singles, team competition and a final singles round now laid out in public, Germany’s debut youth FootGolf world title has moved from anticipation to an actual competitive blueprint.
