The 2025 Men’s European Lacrosse Championship has been moved from Szombathely, Hungary to the Polish city of Wrocław.

Following a vote of member nations last year, countries opted in favour of relocating the tournament to Wrocław, maintaining the originally planned dates of 10 to 19 July.

The European Championship also acts the European qualifying event for the 2027 World Lacrosse Men’s Championship with the top seven teams earning a spot at the world event in Japan.

The European Lacrosse Federation (ELF) will work with the Polish Local Organising Committee to finalise details and communicate updates promptly when they have them.

The city of Wrocław has a recent history of hosting successful lacrosse tournaments with last year’s European U20 Men’s Championship, where England finished second behind Ireland, being held there.

The 2025 competition will be the first full Euros to be contested since the 2016 edition, where England lifted the trophy the the fourth time in a row, following a reduced 2022 event also held in Wrocław which served only as a World Championship qualifying event, for which England had already qualified and so did not compete.

Head Coach Sam Patterson now has six months to prepare his team for action in Poland with April’s Home Internationals Series in Largs, Scotland the next challenge for England.
