Initially, the Women’s U25 European Championship was also included. However, due to the low number of interested teams, IWBF Europe had to take the difficult decision to cancel the women’s competition for this year.
FIPIC and the Local Organising Committee, in collaboration with IWBF Europe, are ensuring special measures are taken at the event to proceed with the health and safety of everyone participating in mind.
