IFA EUROS 2024

Jaworzno POLAND 13-17 June 2024

PAA joined IFA as the UK member nation. That means that entries can be made from 1st - 31st May via the get in touch button. There will be an official form to download, fill out send back here. 

Can you pull for the UK Team?

Yes

- if you have been resident here for more than 5 years (& can prove it), 

- if you commit to pull only for the UK 

(that means you can't pull for any other country)

- obviously you'll have to adhere to the rules that IFA have in place in regard to drug testing, dress code etc. These can be viewed on their site.

No

- if you are are legal resident of UK for more than 5 years but have pulled in another Nationals after pulling for us or in our Nationals.  

- if you have not been legal resident of UK for 5 years.

- if you live in the Republic of Ireland: IFA recognise you as a separate nation & will require you to register as an individual.

Team Kit 

I will be sorting out some team kit soon. We have to wear sports clothing & it has to be identifiable. Don't wear jeans, dress like an accountant or wear shorts. They will turn you away from the table.

Accomodation & Transport:

IFA have a package deal with some hotels - see the file below & book before the deadline which is 1st May. Otherwise make your own arrangements. Look at where the venue is & whether you want to stay within walking distance, take a cab, hire a car or rely on some other transport to get to & from where you are staying. 

QUESTIONS?

Read all the information before asking about details - we will refer you back to the documents if you haven't read it.


Use the get in touch button at the top of the page for everything else.
