Therefore, the selection of the winners on the basis of the overall standings postponed for the calendar year. African World Cup will be the final competition in the 2013 FIAS calendar.

The African continent was to hold the World Cup from 13 to 16 September. However, the debut of the African country as the hostess of the World Cup is postponed until December. The exact dates of the tournament in Morocco will be determined later. The previous three stages, the results of which were included in the Overall World Cup in 2013, took place in January in Uralsk (Kazakhstan) in March in Moscow (Russia), and in June in Caracas (Venezuela).
