The 2017 European Junior Championship was the 13th European Junior Championship. It was held from July 14 to 16 in Paris. [1]

Qualification

A total of eight teams reported to enter for qualification. Therefore, two four-nation tournaments were scheduled, with the winners of these tournaments earning a spot for the final tournament in Paris. Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland were grouped together while the other tournament was planned with Serbia, Italy, Russia and Hungary. [1] As a consequence of the conflict of two organisations, both claiming to be the real IFAF, some weeks before the start of the qualification, a second European Junior Championship was announced to be held in Denmark. [2] Russia and Hungary thus withdrew their participation in the Serbian qualification tournament. [3]

Tournament in Serbia

Russia and Hungary withdrew. Italy qualified by a victory over host Serbia.
