Fistball is a sport of European origin, primarily played in the German-speaking nations of Austria, Germany and Switzerland, as well as in Brazil. The objective of the game is similar to volleyball, in that teams try to hit a ball over a net, but the rules vary from volleyball in a number of major ways. The current men's fistball World Champions are Germany, winners of both the 2019 Men's World Championships and the fistball category at the 2022 World Games, while the current women's fistball World Champions are also Germany, after winning the 2021 Women's World Championships.
Fistball was introduced as a World Games sport for men at the 1985 World Games in London. Women's fistball competition has not yet been introduced.
