The International Powerchair Hockey (IPCH) is pleased to announce its official endorsement of Powerchair Floorball Battle, an international tournament taking place on 1–2 May 2027 in Leuven, Belgium, bringing together teams from different countries.
Hosted at the Sportoase Philipssite Arena, the event aims to create an exciting international competition environment, bringing together clubs and athletes through a two-day tournament featuring eight teams, divided into two groups, with a total of 20 matches played in a 5-a-side format.
Beyond Competition: Investing in the Development of Officials
As part of this collaboration, the tournament will also provide an opportunity to organise educational and development activities for referees and other technical officials.
Training, mentoring and observation activities will be integrated into the tournament programme, offering officials opportunities to gain practical experience, exchange knowledge and further develop their skills in an international competition environment.
Further details about these activities and the collaboration framework will be shared in the coming weeks.
Growing Together, Beyond International Championships
IPCH believes that the development of Powerchair Hockey goes far beyond major international competitions such as World and European Championships.
Local and international club tournaments play an essential role in strengthening the sport, creating opportunities for athletes, developing officials and building connections across the international community.
Through initiatives such as this endorsement, IPCH aims to strengthen its relationship with clubs and local organisers, making the international movement increasingly accessible and present at every level of the sport.
Growing together means creating opportunities to learn, connect and develop — not only for national teams, but for the entire Powerchair Hockey community.
IPCH looks forward to working alongside the Powerchair Floorball Battle organisers and all participating clubs to make this collaboration a valuable opportunity for the continued growth of our sport.
