European Pétanque Championships Explained

European Pétanque Championships are organised by the European Pétanque Federation (Confédération Européenne de Pétanque – CEP) in collaboration with its member country federations. There are five main player groups for competitions: Youth (under 18), Up-and-coming (Espoirs, under 23), Women, Men, and Veteran (over 55). Competitors play a variety of games according to their age. The results of the Championships – excluding Veteran – determine the top 24 Nations to represent Europe at the FIPJP Pétanque World Championship.
