We are more than happy to announce that after many years Madrid will once again host the 26th IFPA European Footbag Championships.
This will be the third time this event has been held in Spain, but the second time it will be in Madrid. We will make a great effort to offer a fantastic event, staying true to the European Championship's objective of holding an event in a public space. The event will take place in the Parque Casino de la Reina, in one of Madrid's most vibrant neighborhoods.
We know that it's quite warm in Madrid at this time of year, but the place has a great roof that will protect us from the sun.
The Registration Fee is 50-¤
Everyday we will provide free simple breakfasts, coffee(if you dare), fruits and water everyday.
There will also be the option to order t-shirts with the
beautiful official
tournament logo; they will cost 15-¤.
Additionally, near the tournament venue we will have many places with a wide variety of food, tapas and beers; we recommend visiting:
Mercado San Fernando, Incredible variety of food and drinks, check out the website
Transport:
Public transport in Madrid works very well. There are many metro lines and buses available. The metro usually runs until 1:30 a.m. Buses operate 24 hours a day; from midnight onwards, the night bus service is in operation.
To use the metro, you need a transport card, which can be purchased at metro stations and costs 2.50-¤. It is recommended to load a 10-trip ticket (7.30-¤). On buses, you can also pay directly with your contactless bank card, without needing the transport card. The cost per trip is 1.50-¤.
Taxis in Madrid are also very reliable. Official taxis are white with a red diagonal stripe and use a taximeter (the price depends on distance and time). You can hail them on the street or find them at taxi ranks. There are also ride-hailing apps such as Uber, Cabify, and Bolt. These usually offer fixed prices through the app, which can sometimes be cheaper or more convenient, especially at night or for longer trips.
Google Maps works very well for getting around Madrid using public transport.
Accommodation:
Please check the map with recommended areas to stay, based on quiet zones, balanced areas, and more lively (noisier) areas. there are also marked some key points of interest to help you get around and make the most of your stay.
