WFAC has once again been postponed
Dear Archers,
The situation in the world caused by COVID-19 is still turbulent. Despite the desire of many competitors to participate in the WFAC this year, we have made a joint decision by the IFAA and the FAAE not to hold the tournament in 2021 and postpone it to 2022. Therefore, we announce that WFAC will take place between August 5 and August 13, 2022.
The venue of the WFAC is the same as it was planned earlier – Jõulumäe Recreation Centre, Leina village, Häädemeeste parish, 86504 Pärnu county, Estonia. Competitors who had registered and paid the competition fee to participate in WFAC2020 and now wish to participate in WFAC in the next year do not have to do anything, their participation fee will be retained and carried forward to the next Tournament.
The same applies to accommodation in the competition village. Competitors who have booked and paid for accommodation and wish to participate in WFAC in the next year and stay in the competition village do not have to do anything. Their reservations and payments will be carried over to 2022.
As more than two years have passed since the registration of the competitors at the time of WFAC in year 2022, we ask all competitors to review their age classes by the end of July. In the coming weeks, we will send a link to all competitors by e-mail, where you can correct your registered data and to confirm participation in the competition in 2022.
On behalf of the Tournament Organizers we thank you for your patience and understanding!
