Greatest Ultimate Bag will continue to be the Official Bag Supplier of WFDF
Two new sponsors are joining the World Flying Disc Federation partnership family. X-COM Footwear has been named the WFDF Official Footwear Sponsor for 2023-2026 and FLIK Ultimate is the WFDF Coaching Resource Partner. Greatest Ultimate Bag has also extended its contract with WFDF and will be the WFDF Official Bag Supplier through 2024.
We are pleased to announce these new partnerships, introducing quality products and services to our community while supporting our general operations with additional financial resources,” stated WFDF President Robert “Nob” Rauch. “Together with our lead partners – Discraft (official Ultimate disc) and VC Ultimate (official apparel supplier), these new relationships will strengthen the sponsorship pillar of our revenue model and allow us to expand our capabilities. We are also excited to be able to provide coaches’ training resources – a long desired service – to our broad community.”
As Official Footwear Sponsor, X-COM will provide cleats and other footwear online and at WFDF events. X-COM Footwear will be introducing three versions of footwear aimed at the Flying Disc audience: hiking, training, and Ultimate cleats. All three products are currently in pre-production and they expect the first two lines to be available starting with AOUGC and to have the cleats introduced by year end. X-COM was founded in 2006 and is based in Shenzhen, China.
FLIK Ultimate helps users plan their training sessions using a huge library of ultimate drills, practice plans, diagrams, videos and theory articles – all written by some of the best players in the world. WFDF will work with National Federations to identify new and emerging coaches and provide them with free licences to access the WFDF portal within the FLIK site.
