A few updates from the IFA after last month's Board of Directors meeting.

 

Looks like there will be no host quota for  China at the 2025 World Games. This is surprising after the IFA went to Chengdu last year to put on a clinic. No doubt that given a year  China has the resources and athletes to field a team that would be competitive in the placement matches.

 

 Namibia will replace  China on the women's side. While  will replace  on the men's side. 

 

 Namibia finished 8th at the last Women's World Championships, while  New Zealand finished 11th at the 2023 Men's World Championship.
