European Qualification Tournament for Youth Olympic Games 2010

The EMAU Council, in a meeting held on 21 February 2009, decided that the Continental Qualification Tournament (CQT) for the Youth Olympic Games 2010 would be held during a European Junior Cup competition in Reggio Calabria, Italy.    The period for the CQT will run from August 2009 to May 2010. The Organisers of the European Junior Championship to be held on 18-23 July 2010 in Winnenden, Germany could not move the competition, because the venue was not available in May. Therefore, the EMAU Council allocated the Junior Cup and CQT to Reggio Calabria, a town south of Italy. This event will take place on 18-23 May 2010.   Marinella PISCIOTTI EMAU Secretary General
