Who to watch?

A fabulous line-up promises to deliver a fantastic competition! We’ll see Azerbaijani mixed pair Aghasif Rahimov and Raziya Seyidli and men’s pair Daniel Abbasov and Murad Rafiyev at work. Both pairs are not only defending European Champions, but also the reigning World Champions! More World Champion material comes from Belgium, as women’s pair Maysae Bouhouch and Silke Macharis are looking to add European gold to their triple world crown. Forced to withdraw due to injury at the last Europeans, in 2023, the formidable duo showed their worth again earlier this year, on home soil, where they won 2 titles at the World Cup event in Puurs. Amy Refaeli and Yonatan Fridman, Vice-World Champions and seasoned competitors, are leading Israel’s delegation. Ukraine has World Champions Bohdan Ivanyk and Anastasiia Semenovych in their ranks while Yevfrosyniia Kryvytska and Ivan Labunets won all three titles in Puurs. Powerhouse Great Britain counts on, amongst their strong teams, the Worlds experience of medallists Natalia Gilbert and Esme Mathias.

Another great ACRO nation, Portugal can count on reigning dynamic World Champions Miguel Lopes and Goncalo Parreira while Spain is sending the silver medallists in the same category: Juan Daniel Molina and Jose Moreno. We’re also looking forward to seeing Portugal’s men’s group featuring Rodrigo Coutinho, Gustavo Fernandes, Andre Fiuza and Rafael Santos, women’s group Leonor Carreira, Ema Fernandes and Alicia Santos, Germany’s crowd favourites Daniel Blintsov and Diana Lust and many many others compete in D’Coque Sports Arena.
