FISTBALL TODAY The modern Fistball is mainly played in Europe and South America, occasionally also in North America, Africa and Asia. It is most widespread in countries with a high ratio of German-speaking emigrants. Thanks to the efforts of the International Fistball Association (IFA), more nations have been won for Fistball in recent years.
Fistball is not Olympic, but it has been represented at the World Games for years. Compared to more well-known sports such as Soccer, Tennis or Athletics, Fistball is a niche sport.
Women’s World Championships To date, 8 Fistball World Championships for women have been held. The first event took place in Argentina in 1994, where Germany was crowned World Champion. Germany is the dominant nation with 6 world championship titles. Switzerland triumphed in 2002 and Brazil lifted the trophy in 2010. More details can be found on the WC Statistics page.
