“WFDF is extremely honored by the decision and support shown by the IOC for our sport. We are very thankful to the IOC Executive Board and its administration, in particular to the IOC Sport Department and staff, for their guidance and support during the period since WFDF was provisionally recognized by the IOC Executive Board in May 2013,” stated WFDF president Robert Rauch. “This is an incredible milestone in the 30 year history of WFDF and a further important step for our international federation in the development of our sport worldwide. There could be no bigger anniversary present to WFDF, and we are looking forward to continue to work with the IOC as our partner in promoting Flying Disc sports around the globe.“
