Hungary will host again the European Championships after 22 years, from 12 to 16 June, 2024!
The best athletes of the continent are expected to compete at the legendary The Maty-ér National Kayak and Rowing Olympic Centre track near Szeged, and in addition, in sprint and paracanoe disciplines this will be the last international competition before the Paris Games.
The event is already a historic one, as the European Canoe Association will organize the first SUP European Championships, which is also open for amateurs in addition to the professional athletes.
Recognised as the capital of sprint canoeing, Szeged is the seat of Csongrád County and the fourth largest city in Hungary. It is situated near the south-eastern border of Hungary right by the Tisza River. A large part of the town lies on the right bank, while Újszeged (New Szeged), a suburban district of residential homes and parks is on the left bank of the Tisza. Szeged is the cultural and economic centre of South-Eastern Hungary and a thriving university town, which is also famous for its open-air theatre. The city centre is marked by the medieval Tower of St. Demetrius and the stately twin spires of the Votive Church.
The Maty-ér Race Track, officially known as the Szeged Olympic Center, is one of the world’s best-performing kayak and rowing facilities. The almost 2 and a half kilometer long 130-meter-wide track is also suitable for the most prestigious international competitions. In addition to kayak canoeing and rowing, it is also an excellent venue for training camps in other sports. The Olympic Center also offers leisure athletes (motorboat, water skiing, triathlon, sport fishing).
