WMF Official Announcements

Official cancellation of the Open Asian and African Championships 2021 (postponing to 2022)

Unfortunately we are still worldwide in a difficult situation when it comes to organizing continental championships, which awaken additionally great interest also outside the organizing continent itself.

Therefore the AMF as well as the AFMF have taken together with the WMF decisions to cancel the 2021 continental championships and postpone the events to 2022.

Since 2014, April 6^th has been the www.april6.org International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP). This is commemorated each year by international sport organizations to honor the role that sport plays in society. In 2021, the Peace and Sport organization wanted to highlight “the testimonies of real people who have personally or collectively measured the positive impact of a peace-through-sport project”. This was done with an online campaign, urging people to share their stories through the April6.org platform and through using the
#Whitecard hashtag on social media.
