The 2026 ISF membership scheme has attracted over 30 new country enquiries since launching in February.
An ISF spokesperson said: “All our 2025 members have been given first option for 2026 but already we have received over 30 new enquiries from new countries who were not previously members of ISF”.
“By giving greater choice, and highlighting the importance of other formats, particularly 7aside, we have also had new potential hosts for our major events ask us about how they can put on a Socca event both later this year and for 2027”.
“We are looking at all options for all our events and with the quality of the countries and organisations we are speaking to we are very excited about the future”.
Once a membership is purchased the country has the automatic exclusivity for that format in their own country, and they can upgrade to buy other formats if they wish.
The spokesperson continued: “Additionally, only members can enter events, so we are urging countries to ensure they buy one of the packages early to avoid disappointment”.
More key events will be announced by ISF in the coming weeks.
