On December 14, at its 2025 Annual General Meeting, the World Dodgeball Federation (WDBF) officially welcomed 14 new Full, Voting Member Federations into its global community.

This intake represents the single largest slate of Full Member admissions since 2019, marking a significant milestone in the continued growth, stabilization, and global alignment of international dodgeball governance.

Full Membership within the WDBF is a meaningful achievement for national federations. It reflects demonstrated progress in governance, organizational capacity, competition activity, and alignment with international sport standards. Full Members are granted voting rights at Congress, full eligibility for WDBF-sanctioned events, and access to the Federation’s development, education, officiating, and governance programs.

The 2025 admissions slate includes a diverse mix of emerging and established federations, spanning multiple regions and cultures, and further strengthening continental representation within the WDBF’s democratic structure.

The following federations were formally admitted at the 2025 Annual General Meeting:

As Full, Voting Members, these federations will play an active role in shaping the future of the sport—contributing to Congress decisions, policy development, international competitions, and global development initiatives. Their participation strengthens the collective voice of the membership and enhances the WDBF’s ability to represent dodgeball on the world stage.

The World Dodgeball Federation looks forward to working closely with all Member Federations—new and longstanding alike—as the international community continues to grow, connect, and build together.
