Member Countries
If a country has a formal association which stages sporting events for transplant recipients or is in the process of forming one, then it will be eligible to join the WTGF. A representative is usually appointed for each member country and that person - the country representative - will be the main link between the WTGF and all transplanted athletes in that country receiving frequent communication and publications throughout the year.
