See the full WFDF Eligibility and Roster Guidelines (Appendix D) for roster and citizenship requirements.
Transgender athletes: the eligibility of transgender athletes is governed by the WFDF Transgender and DSD Athlete Policy. WFDF strives to protect transgender athletes and to recognise the importance of autonomy of gender identity in sport, and has created clear guidelines with minimally invasive requirements for TUE submissions. The guidelines were developed by the Medical and Anti-Doping Committee, and WU24 will abide by the timelines and requirements outlined in the policy. Please note that there are different timelines for transgender athletes under age 24 than for transgender athletes age 24 or older: please read through the policy with your athletes when assessing eligibility.
