Caleb Rossouw has been selected to represent South Africa in Spain this July, and with 80% of his campaign funds still to raise, he’s calling on supporters to help him take his place on the world stage.

 

Pietermaritzburg, South Africa (04 March 2026) – Caleb Rossouw has an incredible opportunity ahead: he’s been selected to play for South Africa at the U20 World Ultimate Frisbee Championships, taking place from 11–18 July 2026 in Logroño, Spain. The event, governed by the World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF), brings together the best youth teams from across the globe.

There is a challenge for Caleb. The event is self-funded, and participation comes with a significant cost. Approximately R65,000 per player to cover flights, accommodation, kit, training camps, and international tournaments. So far, Caleb has raised just over R12,000, putting him at roughly 20% of his goal. Now, he’s calling on the community to help him reach the remaining 80% so he can take his place on the world stage.

“I want to be the person to grow Ultimate Frisbee in South Africa for the younger children and for them to see someone like me go to Worlds to represent my country.”

The South African Flying Disc Association (SAFDA) and the team selectors recognise him as a worthy representative of South African sport and an ambassador for youth development.

Participating in the campaign has already required extensive preparation, including national trials, training camps, and domestic tournaments. Now, with international travel on the horizon, every contribution matters.

Anyone interested in supporting Caleb’s journey can contribute to his crowdfunding campaign here.
