This weekend the European Tchoukball Federation (ETBF) celebrates it’s first birthday since being founded on 29 March 2014 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. It has been a busy year for the first Executive Committee of the ETBF. In August 2014 we ran the European Championships in Radewormwald in Germany thanks to our partners from the German Tchoukball Federation. During this event, we worked with the hosts and the International Tchoukball Federation (FITB) to negotiate the best deal for European teams whilst ensuring the competition was professionally managed.
