PAFDF Notes
The Pan American Youth Ultimate Championship (PAYUC) originated in Mexico in 2023 and was formally established as a continental championship in 2025 during its edition held in Costa Rica. The event offers a competitive, safe, and high-level space for the next generation of Ultimate Frisbee players in the region.
The 2027 edition represents an important step in the championship's growth and, as part of a regional development strategy, JUF Activating Values, as the Organizing Committee, decided to hold the championship in Bogotá to broaden continental participation, facilitate the attendance of more countries, and strengthen the event's impact across all categories.
Furthermore, this edition incorporates the U24 category for the first time, expanding competitive opportunities and strengthening the regional sports development pathway.
