The German Quidditch Federation is dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of the Quidditch sport on a national and international level, organizes official Quidditch competitions in Germany and also looks after the German Quidditch national team. As a national association, the DQB belongs to the world association IQA and, with more than 1,000 registered players, is its second largest member association.

tasks

The German Quidditch Federation promotes and organizes the Quidditch sport in the Federal Republic of Germany. Since Quidditch is not played professionally, grassroots and youth sports are primarily among his fields of activity. The association announces the national competitions and ensures that they are organized and carried out properly. One of the main tasks of the DQB is also the creation of fair conditions in sporting competition. To this end, it defines uniform rules at national level and enforces them.

The German Quidditch Association represents the German Quidditch sport on a European and global level and represents the interests of German Quidditch players and clubs in the committees of the International Quidditch Association (e.g. in the European Standing Committee). In addition to the European Cup participants, the German national Quidditch team also represents the Federal Republic of Germany at international tournaments. The German Quidditch Federation appoints a national coach for this purpose and supports the coaching staff organisationally and logistically.

history

The first German team was founded in 2012. The German Quidditch Federation was founded in 2015. A German Quidditch league has been held since 2016. Today, Quidditch is played by more than 40 teams across Germany and coordinated by the DQB in Germany, which was founded in 2015. In addition to the German Quidditch League, the DQB organizes international tournaments such as the Quidditch World Cup 2016 in Frankfurt am Main and the European Championship 2019 in Bamberg.
