The European University Sports Association (EUSA) was pleased to welcome and meet two representatives from the World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) for a one-day meeting at the EUSA Office in Ljubljana, Slovenia on Tuesday, 7 of June. 

Present at the meeting on behalf of EUSA was Secretary General Mr. Matjaž Pečovnik, Sports Manager, Mr. Miha Žvan and Assistant Sports Manager Mr. Mariano Carcatella, who met with Mr. Volker Bernardi, WFDF Secretary General and Mr. Jörn Verleger, WFDF Anti-Doping Officer.

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss formalization of the existing relationship through the potential signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, with the option of a third party included, which will be the European Flying Disk Federation. Following this discussion, Mr. Bernardi and Mr. Verleger presented a detailed introduction to Flying Disk Sports, precisely in terms of organizational requirements as well as potential inclusion of flying disc sports, such as Ultimate and Beach Ultimate Frisbee to EUG and EUC programmes.

The representatives from WFDF shared that they already proposed to the Organizational Committee for EUG 2024, to include this sport as a demonstrative sport during the European Universities Games 2024 in the city of Debrecen, Hungary.  

EUSA and WFDF will also explore the possibilities of including Beach Ultimate Frisbee to the European Universities Beach Championships.  

Plans for future partnership and a formal relationship between EUSA and WFDF were discussed, as the both parties have a regular communication via email already established.
