2020 European Lacrosse Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2020 European Lacrosse Championship will be the 11th edition of the European Lacrosse competition for men's national teams. It will be played in Wrocław, Poland. The championship was initially dated from 23 July to 1 August 2020.[1] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was postponed to be played from 21 to 31 July 2021.[2]

On 12 March, 2021, the competition was once again postponed, with no future date announced.[3]

The 2020 European Lacrosse Championship was eventually played from April 11 to April 16 of 2022. Ukraine was going to debut in this competition except the Ukrainian and Russian teams did not participate due to the Russo-Ukrainian War. Portugal made its first appearance at the European Lacrosse Championship.[4]

This will be the first European Championship that will serve as qualifier for the next edition of the World Lacrosse Championship.
