Information

The World Championships are returning to Prague after four years!

Following the highly successful 2022 World Championships, Prague can once again look forward to world-class futnet! The Czech Futnet Association has once again been entrusted by the world federation UNIF (Union Internationale de Futnet) to host this year’s most prestigious futnet event. Specifically, the Men’s World Championships in singles, doubles, and triples.

The 2022 Prague Championships marked a very successful debut as a host, so we can expect great interest from fans this year as well—and not just from the Czech Republic. The qualifying round of the tournament will take place on Thursday, December 3, 2026, at the UNYP Arena and the adjacent pressurized hall. The four most successful countries in each discipline of this qualifying round will join the World Championship group stage, which will begin in the same hall on Friday morning (December 4, 2026). The top two teams from each group will advance to the most thrilling quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. You can watch these exciting matches all day Saturday and Sunday at the beautiful O2universum multifunctional arena.

The Czech national team is defending the gold medals it won in the singles and trios events, as well as the silver medal in the pairs event, from the last World Championships in Budapest in 2024.
