The COVID-19 Corona crisis, is still raging throughout Europe, is a challenge that is being dealt with by implementing strict protocols and guidelines. All athletes, referees, officials, and staff will mandatorily have to either show a 48h old negative Corona test or will be able to be tested prior to the competition. Weigh-in will be done as per schedule and registration will be managed as much as possible online, with only bank transfer payments with no exceptions. 

 

Also, venue access as well as access to the warming up zone is very limited to only coaches and fighting athletes in order to keep the distance requirement of 1.5 meters at all times besides during the actual fighting of the athletes. Most important is that everybody behaves responsibly: wash your hands, avoid unnecessary contact, keep your distance, and follow the health rules and regulations! Together we can make the 8th European Club Championships a success!
