In this small historical village of Germany were held 8 days of games (July 13 to July 20, 2020), spread over almost twenty fields. Players under 24 years old from all over the world came to represent their countries. A total of 29 nations competed for medals in 3 different categories (Men, Women, Mixed). 


The opening ceremony brings together all the teams on the first day. Participants proudly wave their country's flag as each team is called and introduced one after the other. A presentation match and entertainment followed. It's a day of excitement, anticipation and friendly encounters.
