Colorado Springs, Colo. (December 15, 2025)—USA Ultimate, the national governing body for the sport of ultimate in the United States, announced today the 72 athletes that have been selected to represent the U.S. at the 2026 World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) World Junior Ultimate Championships (WJUC) next summer.
Players were named to one of three rosters – mixed, open, or women’s – and were chosen from a pool of more than 200 invitees who attended a pair of tryouts this fall.
Overall, coaches selected 24 players to each team, including six athletes who won world titles in 2024 as part of the gold-medal-winning mixed and open squads, and four athletes who took silver in 2024 as members of the women’s team.
Team USA has competed in 16 editions of WJUC dating back to 1988. The open team has earned ten gold medals, two silvers, and four bronze.
Since the women’s division was introduced in 2000, the U.S. National Team has captured six gold medals, four silvers, and a bronze.
Team USA took the gold in 2024 in the mixed division, the first time at that event. The mixed division was introduced to WJUC in 2022.
WJUC 2026 is set to be held July 11–July 18 in Logroño, Spain and is co-hosted by WFDF and the local organizing committee in Logroño.
