IN BRIEF

The event offers live beach sport and online coverage, but weather, field schedules and access can change. Spectators should use the official event information for the selected match.

  • Competition runs from Friday 16 to Sunday 18 October.
  • The event covers men's, women's and mixed divisions.
  • Organisers expect about 1,000 players across 12 fields and roughly 250 games.
01

A large tournament runs across many fields

The fifth EBUCC returns to Figueira da Foz with qualified club teams and a compressed three-day schedule. A general event time does not identify the field or start of a particular match.

Use the live schedule and results service for the current fixture. Coastal weather can affect comfort and the timetable even when the event remains open.

02

Plan a beach visit around event conditions

Expect greater activity around the competition area and allow time for parking or walking. Keep clear of marked fields and follow steward instructions.

Bring suitable layers, water and sun or rain protection for the conditions. A sporting event does not change beach flags, coastal warnings or ordinary water-safety advice.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

What you can do now.

  1. 01

    Check the live EBUCC schedule for the chosen match.

  2. 02

    Allow extra time around the beachfront.

  3. 03

    Follow event signs and current coastal-safety information.
