Hosts & Dates Of European Championships Yet To Be Finalised As LEN Announces 2024 Events Calendar<\/h4>\n

European governing body LEN<\/strong> has announced the preliminary 2024 events calendar with the hosts and dates of the European Championships<\/strong> yet to be finalised.<\/p>\n

The 2024 continental showpiece had been scheduled to take place in Kazan but following the Russian invasion of Ukraine it was announced that LEN-sanctioned events would not be held<\/a> in either Russia or Belarus.<\/p>\n

Neither would athletes from those countries be allowed to compete at LEN events “until further notice.”<\/p>\n

Rome hosted the last Europeans at the iconic Foro Italico<\/strong> in August 2022, 15 months after Budapest staged the 2020 edition which was delayed until May 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

From 1973 to 1999 the Europeans were held in years without an Olympics or World Championships but since 2000 every second edition takes place in Olympic year.<\/p>\n

All have been staged in the months before the Games but Doha’s hosting of the worlds in February 2024 brings an added complication.<\/p>\n

LEN said in a press release:<\/p>\n

“Discussions with potential hosts of the 2024 edition of LEN European Aquatics Championships are reaching their final phase, with the announcement of dates and venues expected very soon.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The European Junior Swimming Championships<\/strong> will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania, from 2-7 July while Eilat, Israel hosts the European Junior Open Water Swimming Championships<\/strong> (26-28 September).<\/p>\n

Eilat also stages the first of five legs of the LEN Open Water Swimming Cup<\/strong> (March 16) followed by Piombino, Italy, who host leg two (18 May) with a date and location for leg three set to be announced shortly.<\/p>\n

Belgrade, Serbia (15 June) and Ohrid, Macedonia (8 September) hosts legs four and five with the date for the sixth event in Barcelona to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

The LEN European Water Polo Championships<\/strong> will take place from 3-16 January in Netanya, Israel with the draw going ahead on 12 September.<\/p>\n
