The 2025 IFAF World Championship was the upcoming sixth instance of the IFAF World Championship for American football. The games were originally scheduled to be held in Wollongong, Australia, from 29 July to 5 August 2019, but were postponed to 2023 due to the large number of withdrawals from top nations. [1] In October 2022, the tournament was again postponed until 2025.
With Germany scheduling a home game in the Gridiron Nations Championship against Canada on 16 November in Bochum, [2] and that no update has been given on the 2025 event, it is likely the tournament has been cancelled or postponed again.
Australia was originally announced by IFAF as the host for the 2019 championship in July 2018. [3] Germany later replaced Australia as hosts of the rescheduled 2023 IFAF World Championship in December 2021. [4] In 2022, the tournament was postponed again to 2025, and IFAF entered talks with the German federation about hosting. [5]
