During the Men´s WFC 2016, the players from all of the participating teams will have the chance to vote for the male representatives on the IFF Athletes´ Commission. The IFF has received 8 male nominations: Shaun Frazer (AUS), Tomas Sladky (CZE), Tero Tiitu (FIN), Junoh Lee (KOR), Ole Mossin Olesen (NOR), Johan Samuelson (SWE), Manuel Engel (SUI) & Manaure Russo-Mendoza (FRA). 

Four male representatives will be elected to the IFF Athletes Commission (ATC) for the next four year period and the results will be announced in February 2017 after the elections for the female candidates, which will be held during the Women´s WFC Qualifications.

Here we meet Johan Samuelsson from Sweden and Shaun Frazer of Australia.

“After seven years as a player on the international scene where I have been able to affect things on the field, I now feel that I have the experience and knowledge to affect things outside the field.”
