The Federation for International FootGolf’s main function is to promote worldwide recognition of the sport of FootGolf. It oversees the international development and growth to ensure equitable play for all players worldwide.
Establishing a new sport in the world is not an easy task. Before its launch, members of the FIFG around the world had been working tirelessly to introduce, establish and promote the sport at grassroots level.
It was very clear from the beginning that a structure needed to be created in order for the sport to be played at all levels. To reach this goal, the FIFG established the international rules of play and constitution of FootGolf under which all members agree to abide.
The FIFG recognizes only one member per country. Countries currently not represented by a member may submit a request for the process and terms to become a member.
FootGolf is played from the teeing zone with each player aiming for the hole on the green zone in the fewest number of kicks. It is played with minimal supervision of a marshal and depends on the integrity of the player to show consideration for other players and to abide by the rules.
All footgolfers should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner demonstrating courtesy at all times and sportsmanship regardless of how competitive they may be.
This is the spirit of FootGolf.
To play FootGolf, you’ll need a standard size 5 soccer ball, comfortable sportswear, and the official attire: knee-high socks, a collared shirt, and golf-style shorts. Proper footwear – like turf shoes or indoor soccer shoes – is also essential, as cleats are not allowed.
Having the right gear ensures you’re ready to play in comfort and style!
FootGolf combines the precision of golf with the kicking skills of soccer. The objective is to kick a standard size 5 soccer ball into a series of 21-inch diameter cups in as few shots as possible.
