F4 Liga Mistrzow copyThis year's final of the European Champions League in American Football (IFAF Europe Champions League) will take place in Wroclaw on 22-24 of July. Wroclaw Panthers will participate in the tournament as a first Polish team in the history on this level of international competition.

“This is by far the biggest event in the football history of Poland. For the first time ever in Wroclaw we will see four of the Europe best teams in American Football. It is an honor for our club, which proves the continuous development and strong position on the Polish football map,” says Jakub Głogowski, President of Panthers Wroclaw.

The co-organizer of the tournament is the Organizing Committee of The World Games 2017 (20-30 July 2017) in Wroclaw. The Final Four competition will take place exactly one year before TWG and will be part of the "One Year To Go" events that will take place in Wroclaw end of July. American Football will be on the programme next year as one of four invitational sports.

“We are pleased to have been co-organizer of Europe Champions League tournament, which will be an excellent test before The World Games 2017.

It is worth to mention that American Football is one of the spots of The World Games 2017, which is gaining new fans every day in Poland.
