IFA launches official WhatsApp Channel

published: January 13, 2026

The International Fistball Association (IFA) is expanding its communication channels. From now on, important information will not only be shared via the IFA website, Instagram and Facebook, but can also be accessed directly through the official IFA WhatsApp Channel.

The new channel will provide short news updates, event information, photos, videos and highlights from international fistball, including all major IFA events and competitions. The goal is to deliver relevant content quickly, clearly and directly to the global fistball community – right where many people are active every day.

“We are pleased to bring the most important information about international fistball, including IFA events, even more easily and directly to fistball players and fans worldwide,” said Christoph Oberlehner, Secretary General of the International Fistball Association. “We are looking forward to welcoming many subscribers to our new WhatsApp channel.”

Subscribing is voluntary, free of charge and allows everyone to decide individually how often they would like to receive updates about international fistball.
