Bregenz and Hard entertain teams from around Europe

Sixteen teams will compete in the final tournament of the Men’s 18 European Championship which will be held between 12 and 22 July 2012 at the Arena Rieden/Vorkloster (Bregenz) and Sporthalle am See (Hard), Austria.

Croatia left last year’s tournament with gold and will be hoping for the same success in Austria.

With players like talented 18 year old Marko Mamic, the Croatians will be no easy opposition.

Spain and Denmark, missing out on gold at last year’s tournament finishing second and third respectively, will be looking to knock Croatia off the top spot.

The sixteen teams are split into four groups, the groups are as follows: 

Groups A and B will be played in Bregenz while Groups C and D will be carried out in Hard.
