Boccia Tatra Cup 2023 / June 15 – 20, 2023, Liptovský Ján
7th year of the open international tournament in the Paralympic sport of boccia
4-day sports competition in the barrier-free sports hall of the Alexandra Wellness Hotel*** in Liptovský Ján, an attractive accompanying program with an educational and social focus, traditionally high-quality player cast, friendly atmosphere… this is how the 7th year of the international tournament for individuals, pairs and teams in the Paralympic sport of boccia Boccia Tatra Cup 2023 took place.
The first and still the only international boccia tournament, organized in Slovakia, is open to classified boccia players of all skill levels. It is attended by beginners and less experienced players – representatives of regional sports clubs with national classification, as well as top players from the leading ranks of the world BISFed ranking – members of national representative teams and successful Paralympians. A total of 48 players registered for the 7th year of the tournament and a total of more than 150 participants from 8 European countries.
Boccia Tatra Cup 2023 was held just before the start of a series of important qualifying BISFed tournaments, where representatives of individual countries collect score and get places for the upcoming XVII. Summer Paralympic Games PARIS 2024. For them, this year was especially an ideal space for testing and fine-tuning their sports form in a friendly but high-quality playing environment. The representatives present here had the opportunity to measure their strength and test their game tactics, albeit in friendly matches, but directly against several of their European competitors from the top of the BISFed rankings. For beginners and less experienced players from regional boccia clubs, who do not normally get to participate in international scoring tournaments and do not play with top players from other countries, the participation in this tournament allowed them to gain valuable international sports experience and provided the unique opportunity to meet and play with their idols and stars .
