WFDF strives to protect transgender athletes and to recognize the importance of autonomy of gender identity in sport and has created clear guidelines with minimally invasive requirements for TUE submissions.

The guidelines were developed by the Medical and Anti-Doping Committee. WU24 will abide by timelines and requirements as outlined in the WFDF Transgender Athlete and Differences in Sex Development (DSD) Athlete Policy. Please note that there are different timelines for transgender athletes under age 24 than for transgender athletes age 24 or older. Please be sure to read through this document with your athletes when assessing eligibility.
