We extend our congratulations to Brazil, Serbia, South Africa, and Uzbekistan for making it to this stage. Each of these nations can bring something special to the table, and we look forward to seeing how they could help shape the future of phygital sports by hosting GOTF 2027. This is an exciting time for our community, and we can’t wait to find out the 2027 host of this global event.”
