CEB OFFICIAL NEWS
25. March 2026
This is an official CEB communication. All the recipients are kindly requested to take it into account for what they are concerned.
1. EUROYOUTH LONGONI NEXTGEN 2026
After requests received by the CEB about removing existing limitations to the participation to several disciplines/competitions we managed to make some changes to the Euroyouth sport program, in order to avoid all limitations and to include a comfortable schedule for the new EC 3-Cushion National Team U21. As a result, all the participants will be able to play all the competitions and the total duration of the event is increased by one day, from August 4th to August 9th.
The place of the event will be the town hall of Salamina island, where the U25 3-Cushions EC was played in 2023-24. Since the dates are in the high season for Greece and in order to make it easier for athletes and federations to buy cheaper air tickets as soon as possible, the registrations will open mid April with deadline in mid May. The Greek Federation in cooperation with the Mayor of the city will negotiate the hotel prices so these can be also affordable. We will ask also for a 10-15 days package in case some families would like to combine their summer vacations.
CEB wants to promote the 5-Pins discipline among the youngest players, with particular attention to the U21 girls. For this reason we are planning a special management of this category; the 5-Pins tournament system both for U21 boys and girls will be therefore decided when the number of registrations will be known. We strongly invite all federations to register 5-Pins U21 girl, if you have any.
2. ANTALYA 2026
The CEB would like to warmly thank all those who made this exceptional event possible. Players, referees, staff, Turkish Billiards Federations, sponsors and partners, everyone contributed in their own way to the success of the ALL-IN-ONE 2026 in Antalya. Of course our congratulations go to the new European champions and to all the medal winners. We look forward to seeing everyone at the next regrouped championships in 2029.
