Which Countries are Going to IBCPC France 2026
Submitted by Meri Gibson, IBCPC Global President.
Some of you have been asking which countries and the names of teams that are attending the festival in 2026. As some teams are still reshuffling their numbers and team names and with the dates announced for the IDBF club crew world championships there has been some further movement of team numbers. We did not want to publish the team names just yet until that is totally finalised, however we are very happy to share with you the countries that are attending and the number of teams per country.
You will see from the attached list that there are two partial teams and that the team numbers versus the total number of participants does not necessarily match. There are two reasons for this: the total number of participants includes the supporters and may also include individual paddlers who do not as yet have an assigned team. But what this information will give you is a broad brush in terms of the teams and the countries attending. The organisers still have to put together composite teams based on partial teams and individuals.
We hope this gives you some idea of the scope and we want to reaffirm it is not entirely accurate in terms of countries as some people will have joined another team and may in fact be representing a different country than that under which they are currently tagged.
Out of our 41 member countries we are represented by 23 (but it could actually be more) at the event according to this list however as I have said above this may not be entirely accurate as there will be people from other countries joining other teams.
