Hospitality

To ensure all players and their teams enjoy a smooth and comfortable stay during the MEHRLEBEN U18 European Junior Championships, hospitality services begin on Sunday, 13th September 2026, starting with lunch.

Meals include mineral and Grander water as well as fruit juices, which are available at no extra cost. Other beverages such as coffee, cola or Fanta are not included and must be paid for directly on-site.

Upon arrival, wristbands will be distributed at the reception of Thermenhotel Kurz on Saturday, 12th September (all day) and on Sunday, 13th September until 2.00 p.m. during check-in. From Monday onwards, one coach from each nation must collect the new wristbands daily for the entire team at the tournament office in Sporthotel Kurz, as long as the players are still participating in the competition.
