How This World Cup Came to Canada
In 2025, Vanda Hadarean brought a group of Canadian athletes to compete at the World Championships in Croatia.
What happened there changed everything.
During the competition, Slobodanka Tintor, President of the International Body Fitness Federation (IBFF), approached Vanda with an opportunity — to bring an international competition to Canada.
After years of building a strong program and community through IBV Fit Kids, and representing Canada on the international stage, she was invited to host the World Cup.
This event represents more than a competition — it is an opportunity to grow the sport, unite the international community, and give Canadian athletes a global stage.
