A World Championship held in Corsica could not come true without local representation.
To ensure the host region is fully involved, the organisers of the 2026 ARWC decided to award two special invitations to Corsican teams, in partnership with the Corsican Triathlon League. This unique opportunity has generated great enthusiasm among the island’s clubs. A selection process was held, at the end of which the league’s president, Sauveur Nicolas, named the eight athletes who will represent Corsica at this global event.
We are delighted to welcome Tafuna Matata and I Triatleti Corsi to the starting line on the 1st of October 2026 in Corte. For these two teams, the ARWC 2026 will be much more than an international competition. They will have the privilege of representing their island against teams from all over the world, on a land they know better than anyone else. For them, the adventure will not be a discovery; it will be a reunion with their own homeland.
