FIIC Events

In order to spread and develop intercrosse worldwide the FIIC regularly arrange a series of international events.

There are basically three different events;

• World Games
• World Cup
• Seminars

Each of these events has a special purpose;

The World Games is the oldest tournament arranged by the FIIC. It has been held annually since 1987 with the exception of 1998 and 2006. World Games is a unique way of practicing sports, focusing on "Fair-Play" and social exchange rather than on medals.

At the World Games the participants are divided into teams decided by fate alone. A team can therefore consist of players from several different countries which require the players to communicate and share their experiences with each other in order to win.

The World Cup was created in 1999 and was held annually until 2006 when the FIIC decided to make it a semi-annual event. Its purpose is to allow intercrosse to be played at a higher "elite" level. This will help the sport get recognition and publicity.

As a mean for spreading the knowledge about intercrosse the FIIC attend and sometime even host seminars. These seminar are usually on a technical level educating PE-teachers but also to educate existing players.
