The winner of both 2008 and 2012 was also successful in its bid to organise the 3rd European championship in 2016. The EUROPEADA takes place in the same period as the official European championship of UEFA. In total, 24 male teams and up till 8 female teams are expected. The EUROPEADA is foremost a great football festival of languages and cultures which attracts attention from the media from all over Europe.
The autonomous region Trentino-South Tyrol and the autonomous province Bozen have been supporting the work of FUEN and thus the minorities in Europe for a very long time. SVP is a FUEN member since 1988.
