June 11, 2008
Only ten days after the official start of the signup period for the European Club Cup, there is a record number of participating teams. In an official press release yesterday, the Organizing Committee has informed that 80 teams (60 men & 20 women) have registered until now for ECC2008! The registration period still continues and several federations have asked for extension, which means the number may even increase until the start of the championship
