WFDF's membership has now increased to 87 countries. 

"To add Cayman Islands and Malawi to the flying disc family during these difficult times is perhaps a harbinger of the return to the organised practice of flying disc sports around the globe and further proof of the effectiveness of the WFDF development programme," said WFDF President Robert Rauch.

"To be able to expand our membership in the Caribbean and Africa shows how the focus of WFDF’s development efforts are supporting the expansion of flying disc in all regions around the world. 

"While efforts are obviously more complicated now, we are looking forward to adding other candidates for membership soon despite the difficulties."

Cayman Islands Ultimate Association President Michael Kader expressed his delight at joining WFDF.

"Cayman Islands Ultimate is extremely proud to be recognised by the WFDF," he said.

"In these difficult times, this is truly comforting news.

"As we look toward our eventual return to the field, we know that WFDF's support will aid our efforts to grow the sport of Ultimate in the Cayman Islands."

Malawi Flying Disc Federation Interim Board chair Asher Jacobsberg also thanked the WFDF.

"As the representatives of Malawi’s teams, we are excited to have established a federation to further the sport in Malawi," he said.

"We would like to thank the World Flying Disc Federation for all their support. 

"We are eagerly awaiting the time when we can take Malawian players to international competitions to enjoy this great sport with new people, opening new horizons."
