Ladies and Gentlemen:

Dear WUSV Member Clubs:

Please be informed that due to the uncertainties that the Covid 19 pandemic still entails we saw no other remedy but to postpone the WUSV World Championship (Universal) 2021 from the month of June 2021 to later in the year. The event shall take place from October 31^st, to November 07^th, 2021. The venue will be the town of Lerma in the community of Burgos which belongs to the autonomous region of Castilla y León in the northern part of Spain. For details please refer to

The judges who were appointed for the event remain the same. Details shall be published on the WUSV homepage in a timely fashion.

By the same token, the WUSV World Championship (IP) that was originally scheduled to be held in Finland in the month of September 2021 was decided to be postponed to November as well. Also, the venue was changed since travelling to Finland requires to go either by ship or plane which might turn out to be likewise difficult and unreliable in these times we are currently living at. Thus, it was decided to have the WUSV World Championship (IP) 2021 also hosted by the WUSV member club in Spain from October 31^st, to November 07^th, 2021 with venue in Lerma as well.

The judges’ availability is currently under review and details will be published on the WUSV homepage in a timely fashion. By the same token, please be informed that a WUSV World Championship (IP) in Finland is planned to be held in 2022 instead of Austria. And it goes without saying that the event shall also be held in Austria at a different time – the schedule hereof is still under review but the planning would be 2026. The pandemic has put our world up-side down for quite some time, now, but we are getting better at coping with this situation and promise that we will get it all sorted out.

We kindly ask for your support in terms of the registration planning. Please let us have a preliminary overview of the teams you are planning to register for both events in Spain and send your answer to the WUSV Secretariat General by the end of the month of March 2021 at the latest. A form for your convenience will be attached for both events. Thank you very much for your efforts.

If further information is needed please do not hesitate to contact the WUSV Secretariat General in Augsburg. Please kindly pass this information on to all of your members and to whom else this might concern.

We are looking forward to hearing from you again and send kindest wishes from Augsburg,
