The 27th EUROFEST tournament marked our fourth consecutive participation with our young teams. So, why did we choose to be regular participants? Let’s begin with the charming city of Koper, boasting a beautiful beach and scenic streets lined with cafes and restaurants, all within walking distance. Then, there’s the vibrant festival that adds color and excitement before, during, and after the games, bringing immense joy to our young participants. The impeccable organization, top-notch facilities, and courteous service ensure an amazing experience for our young athletes, both in terms of sport and social interactions. I highly recommend this tournament to handball clubs worldwide. We’ll be back for the fifth time, so see you at the 28th EUROFEST handball festival!

This is our debut at Eurofest, having participated in other tournaments in recent years. Eurofest stands out as the best for us, impressively organized, with excellent weather and food. We’ve forged new friendships and embraced diverse handball cultures. Fielding 7 teams, we’re eager to return for the 28th Eurofest next season.

For the seventh time, we visited Koper, our favorite tournament destination, renowned for its exceptional organization and stunning seaside setting. Every newcomer is captivated by Koper’s charm, just as we all are. This year, our club competed in two categories: younger and older pupils (born in 2006 and 2005). Both teams performed admirably, bringing home trophies and medals. The older pupils secured second place, narrowly missing victory in the final match by just one goal, while the younger pupils earned bronze. Throughout the tournament, the girls displayed great spirit, showcasing their fighting prowess and passion for the game. It was an exhilarating experience, filled with memorable matches and the vibrant atmosphere of the seaside town. We eagerly anticipate next year’s event.

I believe Eurofest ranks among the finest youth tournaments in Europe. Its seaside setting adds to the exceptional atmosphere, creating a welcoming and enjoyable environment. We love returning to Izola because both players and parents feel at home here. With plenty of matches scheduled, there’s ample time for swimming, boat trips, and other adventures. The reception staff are incredibly friendly and eager to fulfill everyone’s wishes. Personally, my longstanding friendship with Tone Baric, the festival organizer, is a significant reason for attending Eurofest.
