2024 Worlds Sponsorship

 IRF World Championship Request For Proposal 

International Roundnet Federation 

Founded in 2020, the IRF is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the sport of roundnet worldwide. With millions of active players across the globe, the IRF provides the infrastructure for international competition, paving the way to Olympic inclusion. Its membership is composed of national governing bodies from 6 continents and 38 different countries. 


World Championships

The IRF will hold its second Roundnet World Championships at Surrey Sports Park in Guildford, England August 29 through September 1, 2024. This event is the biggest stage for the sport of roundnet and happens just once every two years. Women’s, Men’s, and mixed national teams from all over the world will converge for the largest roundnet tournament in history. We expect representation from over 30 countries, with hundreds of teams competing, and even more fans cheering them on. Coverage of the event will be streamed so fans across the world can support their teams and engage in the action. In our inaugural World Championship, fans watched over 300,000 minutes of streamed content and publications from around the world reported on the event. It’s hard to sum up how special this event is and how tight-knit this community has become:
