Following discussions at our recent Presidium meeting, we are pleased to announce the introduction of the European Grand Senior Championships as part of the EBF championship program (ESC+). This new championship, open to athletes aged 65 and older, will take place every two years in even-numbered years (2026, 2028, etc.). The first edition will be hosted in Vienna from 30 January to 8 February 2026.

We hope this initiative will be warmly welcomed by our senior athletes, and we look forward to strong participation in both championships.
