FACE OFF

EMLC 2025

On behalf of the European Lacrosse Federation and all our members it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2025 European Men’s Lacrosse Championship being held in Wroclaw, Poland.

We have 25 teams competing and this event is also a Qualifier for the World Championships in 2027. The top 7 teams will be invited to participate in the Division 1 Championship and the next 14 in Division 2.

This is the first European Men’s Championship to be held since the pandemic with the event in 2022 being a Qualifier for the World Championship only and did not include those teams that were pre-qualified (from the previous World Championship). It is worth reflecting that the first Men’s Championship was held 30 years ago in 1995 (Prague, Czechia) with 6 teams, this year 25 out of our 36 members are participating.

I wish everybody an exciting and enjoyable European Championship

YOUR EXPERIENCES

Being a part of the ELC was an incredible experience. While I was responsible for managing field operations as my main duty, The whole team made an extremely professional and enjoyable work environment for the entirety of the week. If it were closer, I would get involved every time!

I always enjoy coming to Wroclaw, staying near the fields, having breakfast and dinner with all the players and staff, everyone together the whole event. It's a fantastic time, every time!

Having been an atendee as both a player and head coach, I can say that Poland should be the first choice when hosting an event. I am excited to attend my 3rd sporting event this summer and I hope to go to many more!

I had a fantastic time interning in Wroclaw over the summer. During the two weeks, I gained hands-on experience in event operations and ensuring the event ran smoothly for fans. Overall, it was an invaluable experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity.

EMLC 2025 COMMITTEE

Kilka słów o tym kto my jesteśmy, że robiliśmy ELQ w 2022, EWLC 2018 w Katowicach, że Silesię Cup przez 12 edycji, że ELAX 2024 i że kochamy to co robimy i każdy wrzuci dwa zdania od siebie.

I love counting, yerba, lead national teams, old cars and via ferratas. I don't like kids and dogs.
