It is the 4th edition of this championship introduced by the CEB in 2021. 24 elite players from 10 CEB national federations are divided into 8 groups of 3. Best two from each group will advance to the last 16 KO round and will continue with quarters final, semifinals and final. The current World Champion Seymen Ozbas (TR) is among the favorites.
Next week will be the time of women championships. The first to be played will be the National Teams Championship with 12 representatives from 10 CEB national federations. It is the third edition of this championship that the CEB has recently introduced and the Dutch team (Therese Klompenhouwer and Karina Jetten) is the defending champion who won the first two editions.
The last one will be the individual women championship where again a Dutch representative, Therese Klompenhouwer, will defend the title and she will try to catch her 12th consecutive European title from when this championship exists (2005). The current world champion Charlotte Sørensen is among the participants.
