European Champion Clubs Cup
The “European Champion Clubs Cup” (ECCC) is a major sporting event featuring 26 teams—12 in the men’s category and 14 in the women’s category—competing as the National Champions of their respective countries.
The European Cup is always held in the spring, typically during the last weekend of May. As these are early dates in the athletic calendar, performance marks can sometimes be affected; however, for many athletes, it represents the first high-level competition of the season. The event has only been cancelled once, in 2017. On that occasion, the Cup had been awarded to the Turkish city of Mersin, but the political and social situation near the Syrian border led the participating clubs to decline travel, prompting the European Association to cancel the edition.
Castelló and the Gaeta Huguet
facilities will serve as the venue where the top clubs from across the continent will vye for the European title. Playas de Castellón will act as the host club, with its men’s team contending strongly for the championship.
In total, approximately 450 athletes will gather in Castellón to participate in the 20 scheduled events for each category. The European Cup will take place on May 23rd and 24th, offering athletics fans a unique opportunity to see the continent’s elite athletes up close.
