In the words of the president of IVVA – Mr. Jan Kapera

„Although this was our first time organizing this tournament, I feel it was a great success. I would like to praise our organizing team for doing very good job throughout the whole event. Participants mainly from foreign countries left Ostrava with lots of great memories, which they obtained during the 3 days that they spent here. We already have the date set for next year 2018 and we are expecting even greater interest from both participating teams and also general public.“

IVVA tournament 2018 will be held in Ostrava from 21.6. till 24.6. 2018. For more information about the tournament and registration for the tournament, please visit www.ivva.eu or contact IVVA team at [email protected]
