Seven years after the Covid-related cancellation, the men's senior European rink hockey championship will finally find its place in Vendée, a source of pride for the local club behind the project.
This is news that rink hockey fans have been waiting for a long time. Vendée will host the men's senior European rink hockey championship from August 29 to September 4, 2027. This decision puts an end to a long seven-year wait, marked by the cancellation of the 2020 edition due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The club La Vendéenne, based in Yon, is behind this ambitious project. Its leaders fought for years to bring this international competition back to the region. This reward is a testament to their perseverance and unwavering commitment to the sport.
The French team will arrive at this event with the status of world champion, which adds a special dimension to the occasion. Les Bleus, buoyed by their planetary title, will have the opportunity to shine in front of their home crowd, a considerable advantage in a competition of this level.
For their part, the Yon club says it is particularly satisfied with this news. This championship represents a unique opportunity to highlight rink hockey, a discipline that often struggles to get the media coverage it deserves. The eyes of the world will be on Vendée for an entire week.
For local enthusiasts, it will also be a chance to see the best European players in action, as well as to promote the sport to the general public. The economic and media benefits should be significant for the region.
