International teams will compete against one another over a 400-meter track in the first edition of the International Federation for Falconry Sports and Racing Cup, which has been announced by the International Federation for Falconry Sports and Racing (IFFSR). On December 14, both founders and sports members of the International Federation will take part in the event.
