Applications to host one of EBF’s championships can be submitted by member federations, bowling centres, public organizations or private companies.

If the right to host a championship is awarded to any other entity than a federation, the relevant federation must approve the selected host and motivate an eventual objection.

How often?
The EBF Secretary General will, for relevant championships, where no hosts have been appointed yet, initiate bid rounds in January, April, June and October.

For how many years ahead of time can you bid?
In 2023 you can bid for not awarded championships in 2025 and 2026

What is open for bids?
At the moment hosts are appointed for almost all available championships.
In July 2023 we have opened for bids for the EYC 2025, the EYC 2026, the EWC 2026 and the ECC 2026.
