Following a risk assessment of the IFAF World Championship (M-Tackle) scheduled for 2023 IFAF can confirm that the event will move to 2025. IFAF can confirm that it will enter into discussion with AFVD on the staging of the event in 2025. IFAF can confirm that those nations that have qualified will have this qualification honoured for 2025. IFAF Director of Competitions Roope Noronen said 'As we plan for major championships, especially those which take place over a length of time, it is vital that nations have certainty. The global economic climate makes this a time of uncertainty. As such, having conducted a full risk assessment with our partners, we believe it to be prudent to move the event to 2025 and we will start discussions with AFVD immediately.' A spokesperson from AFVD said 'Germany has a proud tradition in delivering great football events. We fully recognise that the current global situation provides an economic challenge for such an event. AFVD welcomes the opportunity to enter into discussions with IFAF on the staging of the event in 2025.'
