Portugal, through the Portuguese Federation of Deep Sea Sport Fishing (FPPDAM), has the honour of inviting all affiliated national federations to participate in the 3rd FIPS-M World Championship of Sea Kayak Fishing.

The championship will take place from 19 to 25 September 2026 in Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal.

This official FIPS-M World Championship title event will be organised by FPPDAM under the authority and supervision of FIPS-M, in accordance with the current FIPS-M General Rules and FIPS-M Kayak Fishing Regulations.

The competition area, located along the southern coast of Portugal, offers generally stable sea conditions during this period of the year, varied seabed formations and a diverse range of marine species, providing a technically demanding and well-balanced setting for international competition.

The event will be conducted in a catch & release format, fully aligned with FIPS-M principles and marine sustainability standards.

This third edition represents a further step in the structured development of Sea Kayak Fishing within FIPS-M, reflecting the discipline’s growing international participation and organisational maturity.
