I am very pleased, as President of the International Inline-Skater Hockey Federation (IISHF), to welcome you to the IISHF Men European Cup 2025 in Skater hockey in Düsseldorf, Germany which takes place on June 20-22, 2025 (Opening Ceremony on Thursday evening and then games all Friday, Saturday and Sunday).

I would first like to thank the German Federation and the hosting club Düsseldorf Rams for the interest and support that has been given to this tournament. The Organizing Committee has worked very hard on all the technical and social details, and this, along with the wonderful hospitality of the hosting club and the superb organization of this important event, are the guarantees for a successful competition. I would like to wish all the players, team officials and spectators who have come from around Europe a lot of luck in this Title Event and I hope that you will enjoy this tournament. I would also like to thank all the IISHF officials and referees for their contribution so this will hopefully be another great weekend for all of us enjoying this fast and lively sport.

This year we have participation of 10 teams from 4 countries coming from Denmark, Germany, Great Britain and Switzerland. SHC Rossemaison from Switzerland won the last IISHF Men European Cup 2024 taking place at home in Rossemaison, Switzerland on June 28-30, 2024 with a 5-0 victory in the final against Crash Eagles Kaarst from Germany. Third place was taken by Crefelder SC from Germany.

Skater hockey is a fast sport which can be played both outdoors and indoors. The game is played with a ball and is a very fast and exciting game. This tournament is played indoors on a 40×20 meter pitch.
