The European Powerlifting Federation Executive Committee has approved adjustments to the 2027 competition calendar, prioritising athlete welfare and event quality.
Due to the fast and constant growing number of Sub-Junior and Junior athletes participating in the European Classic Powerlifting Championships, and the resulting excessive duration of the combined event, starting from 2027 the European Sub-Junior and Junior Classic Powerlifting Championships will be split into two separate championships, with the Sub-Junior Championship allocated in April and the Junior one in December.
In addition, the European Cup will be cancelled in 2027 in order to maintain a balanced and sustainable EPF calendar.
Both decisions were taken in the best interests of the athletes, ensuring improved competition conditions and long-term development of European powerlifting.
