Play for Team GB at the 2026 WFDF World Team Disc Golf Championships

Representing your country in sport is one of the few things in life that beats an ace. It is also, unfortunately, far harder to arrange.

The 2026 WFDF World Team Disc Golf Championships take place in Vilnius, Lithuania from 9 to 12 September. EDGA and SDGA are inviting players to put their name forward to be considered for Team Great Britain Disc Golf.

If you take your game seriously, care about growing disc golf in the UK, and are willing to commit time, money, and energy to a proper team campaign, this is aimed at you.

Team GB player insights from 2025

Thinking about putting your name forward? Two of our international players summed up what representing Great Britain meant to them this year.

This year I achieved a ten year dream of playing in The World Games… the biggest stage possible for flying disc sports.

It’s an honour to be selected for Team GB and I’m glad that I could represent us.

What the event involves

WFDF will run two Great Britain teams, each playing in a team match format.

Open Team

  • Minimum of six players
  • Usually a mix of MPO and FPO players
  • Up to twelve can be registered
  • Six take part in each match

Masters Team

  • Minimum of six players
  • A mix of MP40, FP40 and MP50 divisions
  • Up to twelve can be registered
  • Six take part in each match

Team GB expects to take around eight to nine players per team so those selected spend time on the course rather than at the hotel buffet.

The full selection criteria are available in the documents linked below.

Costs and commitment

This event is not a cheap weekend away.

Players will need to cover:

  • Event fees
  • Flights and travel
  • Accommodation and food
  • Training and preparation

Fundraising will help with shared costs and team kit, but anyone putting their name forward should assume a meaningful financial and time commitment.

Anti doping and responsibilities

Selected players must:

  • Sign the WFDF anti doping acknowledgement
  • Complete the ADEL online anti doping module
  • Represent their country professionally and respectfully

International representation carries responsibility. The reward is simple. You get to throw discs for Great Britain.
