📢 Important Clarification for Participants of the ITF World Cup 2026
Following questions received from competitors and coaches, the ITF would like to clarify the role of the Medical Fitness Certificate and the Medical Background Sheet for the World Cup in Benidorm.
✅ Medical Fitness Certificate
Athletes are strongly encouraged to undergo a sports fitness examination with their physician and obtain a Medical Fitness Certificate prior to competing.
Every athlete or legal guardian confirms with their signature on the "Declaration of Consent and Data Protection" that they have a medical fitness certificate. And for the ITF World Cup 2026, this certificate may be presented during registration, but it is not a mandatory requirement for participation and athletes will not be excluded from competition if they do not present one.
✅ Medical Background Sheet
Athletes are strongly encouraged to complete and carry their Medical Background Sheet at all times during the event.
This document contains important medical information, such as allergies, medications or pre-existing conditions, and can assist event medical personnel in providing prompt and appropriate treatment should medical attention be required.
Both measures form part of the ITF's ongoing commitment to athlete welfare and safe competition.
We thank all athletes, coaches and associations for their support in helping us create a safer sporting environment for everyone.
