Possibilities of Supporting Roller Derby Teams to get to the World Cup 2025 in Austria
(Feel free to contact us and we will put your Team’s funding-link on the list)
TEAM ARGENTINA – The Selección Argentina de Roller Derby
It’s a simple equation: average income in Argentina is around 600$ while a ticket to Austria costs 1.600$! At the last World Cup in 2018 in Manchester, Team Argentina finished in 8th place. They are a strong and determined team, featuring many skaters from renowned team 2×4 from Buenos Aires.
SALAAM Roller Derby
SALAAM Roller Derby is a borderless team that is a collective of players from SouthWest Asian and North African (SWANA) regions. As a diasporic community, Team Salaam is diverse by definition. In their own words: “Because of the white majority of roller derby, this solidarity is critical. It signals safety, an affective kinship, the knowledge that one can be welcomed and process the same daily struggles.”
The team was founded in 2023, and this will be their first time participating in the World Cup!
TEAM MÉXICO Roller Derby
Team Mexico is heading to their third Roller Derby World Cup! After competing in Texas (2014) and Manchester (2018), where they placed 15th, they’re back with experience and passion.
TEAM West Indies Roller Derby
Team West Indies has been representing global athletes of Caribbean heritage at the Roller Derby World Cup since 2014, finishing 25th in the 2018 tournament. The team unites global athletes of Caribbean heritage -their diverse roster spans the UK, US, and EU, brought together by West Indian roots and a deep passion for derby.
INDIGENOUS RISING ROLLER DERBY
Indigenous Rising Roller Derby, founded in 2017, unites Indigenous athletes from over 30 nations across the Americas and beyond. As the inaugural “borderless” flat track roller derby team, they aim to amplify Indigenous voices and cultures within the derby community. Their mission is to strengthen roller derby and empower Indigenous peoples by representing First Nations in global tournaments. In 2018, they made their World Cup debut in Manchester, marking a significant milestone in their journey.

TEAM DESI
Team Desi is a collective team made up of South Asian athletes, and seeks to highlight the immense talent and athleticism that we have as Desi folks. We are a team deeply rooted in color, culture, food, joy, and family from our ancestors, and we are more than excited to say that we will be making our big debut in 2025 right here at Y’Allstars.
TEAM BRAZIL
Unfortunately, Roller Derby is still relatively unknown in South America, making it difficult for athletes to access sponsorships and infrastructure needed to compete internationally. The 2025 Roller Derby World Cup will be an amazing event where teams from all over the world will compete in a respectful and inclusive environment. Help our athletes be there, representing Brazil with pride!
TEAM BLACK DIASPORA
