Nuremberg to host 2026 ESF European Club Squash Championships

European Club Squash Championships

The 2026 ESF European Club Squash Championships (ECC) will take place at Sportpark Nord in Nuremberg, Germany, on 23-26 September.

Europe’s best club teams will converge on the state of Bavaria after the German Squash Association (DSQV) was awarded the tournament hosting rights by the ESF again.

The event brings together the leading teams from Europe’s various national league systems. The national champions from the highest national leagues or national tournament events for men and women are eligible to take part, as well as the defending champions and host club.

The ECC returns to Germany after only a short break following the 2023 edition, which was held at the Ahorn Sportpark in Paderborn.

At the ECC 2025 in Graz, Austria, German clubs were highly successful, with Paderborner SC winning the women’s title and Sportwerk Hamburg finishing runner-up in the men’s competition.

DSQV President Michael Gäde said: “We are delighted that the European Club Championships 2026 will be held in Nuremberg. Hosting the event in Germany is a recognition of our intensive work and further strengthens the profile of the German Squash Association within the European squash community.

“In Nuremberg, Europe’s best club teams will come together, promising top-level sport, passion, and genuine international exchange. That is exactly what squash stands for: intensity, respect and a strong community that extends beyond national borders.

“Through events like these, we aim to increase the visibility of our sport and inspire new people to take up squash. I would already like to thank everyone who is making this event possible – the organisers, partners, sponsors, volunteers, and, of course, the participating clubs!”
