Countries Collide As European Championship B Division Returns!

The heart-pounding action of wheelchair rugby returns with the highly anticipated and long awaited European Championship B Division tournament in Finland.

From 2 to 6 October, elite athletes from across Europe will come face-to-face in Nastola, Finland, showcasing their incredible skill, determination, and sportsmanship. This event promises to be a spectacular display of hard hits, strategy, and pure excitement.

Having last gone head-to-head in 2021, this year’s B Division Championship will feature some of the most competitive teams in Europe, all vying for the chance to move up to the prestigious A Division just as Switzerland has done after their victory in 2021. With eight teams now competing in the B Division, it’s anyone’s game!

Among the standout athletes is Mordechai Zidkiyahu from Israel. With a reputation for scoring crucial points under pressure, he was voted Most Valuable Player at the last B Division Championship. Each team boasts its own stars, ready to leave everything on the court in the pursuit of victory.

Don’t miss your chance to witness this extraordinary event at the Pajulahti Olympic and Paralympic Training Centre. Whether you are a long-time fan of wheelchair rugby or new to the sport, the European Championship B Division offers an unforgettable experience and celebration of sport, strength, and spirit.
