Avranches in France has been awarded the hosting rights for this year’s European Canoe Association (ECA) Canoe Polo European Championships. 

Situated in the region of Normandy in northern France, Avranches is poised to play host of Europe’s top competition in Canoe Polo from September 8 to 14. 

The 2025 ECA Canoe Polo European Championships was initially awarded to Kalisz, Poland only for the organisers to withdraw in February this year. 

After thoughtful consideration, the ECA Board of Directors has accepted the bid of the French Canoe Federation and the city of Avranches to organise this year’s ECA Canoe Polo European Championships.
