The Pokémon Europe International Championships (EUIC) will return to London, UK, this year, with a range of tournaments.
Players will be able to compete in the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), Pokémon Video Game Championship, Pokémon Go and Pokémon Unite, ahead of the World Championships in Hawaii.
The European Championships will run from April 5th to 7th 2024, and they will once again take place at ExCeL London, as they did last year. See the full list of 2023 Pokémon EUIC winners here.
The Pokémon Company International is teaming up with TournamentCenter as the operator of the event.
All competitors will receive a welcome kit including a cap, playmat, card sleeves, deck box and more.
Speaking of merchandise, the physical Pokémon Center UK pop-up store will be returning as part of the Pokémon Europe International Championships 2024.
This will open from Thursday April 4th to Sunday April 7th 2024, from 10am to 8pm (closing earlier at 4pm on the Sunday).
The store is located at Entrance N1 at London ExCeL and will be open for the general public, so visitors won’t need a competitor or spectator pass to enter.
New for this year, spectators have the option to get a full-weekend pass or individual day passes.
In other recent Pokémon Trading Card Game news, Insomnia Gaming Festival will host LAN trading card tournaments for the first time in March. You can read more about this in our recent esports at i72 article here.
