The WMF is the umbrella organisation of Minigolf sports associations worldwide and continental associations in Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania.

The WMF is a member of GAISF (Global Association of International Sports Federations), AIMS (Alliance of Independent Recognised Members of Sport) and TAFISA (The Association For International Sport for All).

The WMF is developing and growing as a competitive sport, while also helping to promote the benefits of the game as a fun and accessible leisure activity.

The WMF organises World Championships, which are played every two years and Youth World/Open European Championships, which are each played every year.

At WMF we create our future every day. We embrace our responsibility as stewards of tomorrow by striving to be pioneers advancing what is possible today. We have established a sustainability policy as a core enabler and a key element of our strategic plan 2021-2024, embedding sustainability principles into our federation and sports culture.
