2026 U23 World Deaf Football Championships – Serbia 
The Serbian Deaf Sports Federation is ready to welcome the world! From May 11 to 23, 2026, Serbia will host the U23 World Deaf Football Championships, bringing together the best young players from around the globe.
Following the success of the 2024 World Deaf Futsal Championship in Kazakhstan, the Serbian Organizing Committee, in collaboration with DIFA, is committed to delivering world-class organization, with top-level hospitality, security, and transportation.
A DIFA delegation, led by Brice ALLAIN, Sporting Director of Football, recently visited Serbia to inspect the facilities and share the winning strategies from Kazakhstan. Their goal: ensure every team, player, and official enjoys a seamless and professional tournament experience.
Both men’s and women’s U23 teams will compete, showcasing skill, determination, and sportsmanship. This is Serbia’s first time hosting such a prestigious event, marking a historic milestone for the Deaf football community.
Our young athletes understand the responsibility and are ready to give their all on the pitch. This championship is not just a tournament—it’s a statement of readiness, passion, and excellence.
