The World Dodgeball Federation, also known as WDBF, is the world governing body for the sport of dodgeball. Amongst its responsibilities are to run the Dodgeball World Championship since 2012.[1] The WDBF is an international member of The Association for International Sport for All (TAFISA).[2]
Formed in 2011, the organisation sought to unite different continents into one federation.[3][4] In 2012, the first Dodgeball World Championship was held in Kuala Lumpur.[5]
In 2021, WDBF's membership reached 80 members, all also members of the relevant continental federations.[6]
While earlier editions of the Dodgeball World Championship only included foam, starting with 2022, a cloth category was created.[7]
