IFA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2025
​IFA European Championships - 22.05.-26.05.2025, Parnu, Estonia


TEAM UK has been entered for the IFA EUROS in Estonia as listed above. Late entries have to be made directly to Marian Capla, IFA Treasurer at double entry fee.
​​
​Two,from Republic of Ireland are going:-
Alex Kirchenko is in Junior 18 Men right 86kg
Alexandru Bugan is in Mens Senior left 105kg.
​
They had to enter as individuals separate from us as IFA don't allow combined country entries & the Republic of Ireland does not have a federation/association.​
​
19 nationals are sending teams, results will be posted here afterwards. Those wishing to watch the live stream of the event are advised to visit the IFA website where it will free to watch. I have put a button below which links to the IFA front page.
There is a facebook page pretending to be the IFA EUROPEAN ARMWRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS who will likely send you a friend request offering the same - I have heard that they also have managed to take some gullible peoples credit card details for their "free" live stream. ​​​
​
Buy your team tank(the black one by clicking the right button below) for EUROS (if you haven't already or Worlds, it will be the same one. They will personalise your shirt & make shirts larger than 3XL on request. There have been lots of PAA shirts available, some might still be for sale - but this is the one we are competing in. All team has to be same. If you buy a different colour/style you won't be able to compete in it. That's IFA's rule, not ours. ​​
