European Pétanque Championships
![]() | This article needs to be updated.(November 2016) |
European Pétanque Championships are organised by the European Pétanque Federation (Confédération Européenne de Pétanque – CEP) in collaboration with its member country federations. There are five main player groups for competitions: Youth (under 18), Up-and-coming (Espoirs, under 23), Women, Men, and Veteran (over 55). Competitors play a variety of games according to their age. The results of the Championships – excluding Veteran – determine the top 24 Nations to represent Europe at the FIPJP Pétanque World Championship.
History[]
- 1990s – the idea for a new competition for Youth and Women European players is first discussed by the German and Danish Federations
- 1998 – France, supporting the idea, invite teams for an inaugural event in Dijon, France.
- 1999 – foundation of CEP in Strasbourg, France
- 2000 – 1st Official European Championship for Juniors in Liège, Belgium supported by the Belgian Federation
- 2001 – 1st European Championship for Women in Strasbourg, France.
- 2005–2007 – discussion of the need to create an Espoirs ("up-and-coming") category for young players over 18 but not yet ready for "Open Championships", to build up more competitive experience
- 2008 – 1st European Championship for Espoirs in St-Jean-D'Angely, France.
- 2009 – final but not least, 1st European Championship for Men in Nice, France.
- 2015 – France wins 4th title in Men's Triple and remain unbeaten in this competition.
