The groups in EOC are here

This year it is the G16 national teams time to shine in European Open Championship. 20 nations are participating and the groups are ready now.

European Open Championship started in 2005 and quickly developed into a prestigious national team tournament, which is a valued part of Partille World Cup. A number of national team stars have played in the tournament over the years and now it's time for some of the stars of the future to play for the title. Last year Spain's boys won and the year before that, Spain's girls won. Can any team break Spain's European Open Championship dominance this year?
