Tampere will host the European Frisbee Golf Championships in July 2027, featuring over 150 top players from more than 25 countries.

Tampere is set to host the European Frisbee Golf Championships in July 2027, marking a significant event in the sport's calendar. The tournament will take place over four days from July 1 to 4, 2027, and will attract more than 150 elite players from over 25 nations. This championship is noted as Europe's most important frisbee golf event, building on the success of last summer's World Championships held in Tampere and Nokia, which was the first time such a large-scale event occurred outside North America.

The previous year's world championships generated massive interest in Finland, with over a million viewers tuning in to watch the live broadcasts. Event director Jussi Meresmaa highlighted the historical success of Finnish players in European Championships, expressing confidence that this trend will continue. Finland has excelled in these competitions in recent years, and current European champions include Eveliina Salo, indicating strong domestic talent that could dominate the upcoming tournaments.

With Tampere already showcasing its capabilities as a host city for international frisbee golf events, the 2027 European Championships will not only boost local tourism but also enhance the profile of the sport in Finland. As frisbee golf continues to grow in popularity, the successful organization of these major competitions is crucial for its future development and the recognition of players on the global stage.
