This year the European Championships will be held in the fantastic eternal City of Rome, Italy.
The selection process will be as follows:
Gold medal winners in all divisions will automatically qualify provided they attend squad training.

Team England have 2 competitors defending their European titles this year in Men’s Semi-Contact +91kg division and Men’s Light-Contact -63.5kg division. This will mean that we can only enter 1 more competitor in these two divisions.
Squad training organized to build team spirit and bonding between members and coach has been very effective and has had a positive effect on the team.ISKA Team England won 42 Gold, 32 Silver and 42 Bronze at last year’s World Championships and had a fantastic team spirit between all disciplines.
