Key Deadlines & Important Notice regarding Accommodation:
While the official closing date for entries is 30 June 2026 , we would like to draw players attention to a critical soft deadline of 31 May 2026 for the hotel package.
August is peak tourist season in Budapest. On the evening of 20 August, the city will host Europe’s largest fireworks display to commemorate St. Stephen’s Day, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors. Consequently, the city reaches absolute peak occupancy during this week.
To ensure EUteam is secured at our official hub—the Mercure & Ibis Budapest Castle Hill—we strongly encourage you to submit your hotel requirements by 31 May. Please note that you can reserve blocks of rooms by this date even if you have not yet finalized the specific player names. Any requests received after May 31st will be handled on a best-efforts basis and are subject to availability.

Tournament entries must be made through the ESF Tournament Software website. Please ensure that all players and officials have a valid European Squash ID (ESID) prior to entry.
