Disney World to Host the 2023 FIFG FootGolf World Cup

Disney World to Host the 2023 FIFG FootGolf World Cup

Fans of the burgeoning sport of FootGolf, a hybrid between soccer and golf, can look forward to international competition at its very best when the 4th FIFG FootGolf World Cup is hosted in Orlando from May 27^th– June 6^th. 

Around 1,000 players from 40 countries will compete in three categories (men, senior men, and women)  in two different formats (individual stroke play and team match play). The individual and team competitions will take place on 18-hole FootGolf courses at Disney’s Palm Golf Course and the new  Evermore Orlando Resort. 

“FootGolf is the ultimate hybrid sport combining the skills of football (soccer) with the elegance of golf,”  said Federation for International FootGolf (FIFG) president Laura Balestrini. “The FootGolf World Cup  will showcase the world’s best foot golfers, including No. 1 2022 FIFG World Tour ranked Cedric Bonnot  of France, who will compete on some of FootGolf’s most naturally beautiful and challenging courses.”

Disney’s Palm Golf Course, which will stage FootGolf World Cup events at Walt Disney World_® Golf, is no stranger to the sport and just last year played host to the U.S. FootGolf Open, the Jansen Cup, and the  Pacific Trophy. 

Walt Disney World_® Golf, known as “The Happiest Place on TURF!”, first featured FootGolf on Disney’s  Oak Trail Golf Course in 2018, and it has since grown to be a very popular sport worldwide. 

“Our FootGolf offering here has served as a new gateway to our facilities,” said Alex Forsyth, Director of  Sales and Marketing for Walt Disney World_® Golf operated by Arnold Palmer Golf Management. “We’ve  seen families and amateur players regularly visit Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course to play FootGolf, and  now they can come and watch the world’s very best in action.”

The Walt Disney World_® Resort has always been home to miniature golf courses and driving ranges that are open to the public. In recent years, resort visitors have been able to get their kicks playing FootGolf with a soccer ball on Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course in the late afternoons on select days. For more information, please visit www.golfwdw.com/footgolf Disney goes out of its way to make vacations as convenient as possible with complimentary transportation to courses from select Walt Disney World_® Resort hotels, and complimentary parking for golfers and FootGolfers alike on their way to the courses.

FootGolf has expanded internationally since the first World Cup was held in Hungary in 2012 when 79 athletes flew the flag for eight countries. Twenty-six countries were represented by 227 athletes when  Argentina hosted the 2016 FootGolf World Cup, and 503 athletes from 33 countries competed in the  2018 edition which took place in Morocco. 

The 2023 FootGolf World Cup will be played under the official rules of the game, as established and updated earlier this year by the sport’s governing body, the FIFG. The primary function of the FIFG is to promote worldwide recognition of FootGolf, while it also oversees international development and growth to ensure equitable play for all players.
