Three bids received for hosting of EuroHockey Championships 2029

EuroHockey is pleased to have received interest in hosting the EuroHockey Championships 2029 with formal bids submitted by Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain.

The championships will be one of the flagship events of the 2029 international hockey calendar and interest from multiple leading nations reflects the continued growth and prestige of the tournament.

All three national associations have a strong track record in delivering major events in recent years ensuring a highly competitive and high‑quality bidding process.

The bid evaluation committee will now begin engaging with each national association to fully understand the scope and detail of each proposal. 

Throughout the process, EuroHockey will engage closely with stakeholders to ensure the selected host aligns with long‑term strategic priorities.

Following this evaluation process, the committee will submit its recommendations to the EuroHockey Board for consideration at its March meeting.

EuroHockey remains committed to a transparent and robust bidding process, ensuring fairness and integrity at every stage. In line with governance procedures, any Board member affiliated with a bidding National Association will be excluded from the decision‑making process.

The final hosting decision is scheduled to be announced in April.
