Sportastic will provide the official match balls for the fistball competitions at the 2025 World Games in China. The IFA Fistball World Tour Finals 2025 in Vöcklabruck will also be played with balls from the Austrian sports equipment manufacturer.
It will be the big sporting highlight in the 2025 fistball calendar: from August 9 to 13, the fistball competitions will take place in Chengdu, China, as part of the World Games. Eight men’s and eight women’s teams will compete for the title in Tianfu Park. All matches will be played with Sportastic balls. The Austrian sports equipment manufacturer and the International Fistball Association are thus continuing their partnership, which has been ongoing since 2009, particularly at the World Games.
Official match balls for men and women
Fistball fans will be looking towards Chengdu for five days in August 2025. When the men’s and women’s titles in the fistball competitions of the World Games are awarded in Tianfu Park, the International Fistball Association will be relying on match balls from Sportastic. The Austrian sporting goods and sports equipment manufacturer will provide the match balls for both the men’s and women’s competitions. “We are delighted to continue our trusting partnership with Sportastic at the World Games,” says Jörn Verleger, President of the International Fistball Association: “The World Games are a great opportunity for fistball to showcase itself in a multi-sport event. It is therefore all the more important that we can rely on the proven quality of Sportastic for the match ball.” Sportastic has provided the official match balls for the fistball competitions since the 2009 World Games in Kaohsiung – so this will be the fifth time in Chengdu. And, as at the 2017 World Games in Wroclaw (Poland), Sportastic will be producing its own World Games design.
“It is with great pleasure that we are once again providing the balls for the World Games in China. The decades-long success story between IFA/EFA and Sportastic is now entering the next round. It’s great that the international sport of fistball has trusted our ball quality for so long. Here’s to the next decades,” says Thomas Stadler, owner of Sportastic. The balls in the limited World Games edition are now available in the Sportastic online store (https://www.sportastic.com/).
World Tour Finals 2025 also with Sportastic
Sportastic will also be providing the match balls for the most important IFA club competition. From 24 to 27 July – just two weeks before the World Games – the IFA Fistball World Tour Finals will take place in Vöcklabruck (Austria) with the top eight men’s and women’s teams. Sportastic has been providing the match balls since the first World Tour Finals were held in 2018.
