EYGC2025

The 30th European Youth Go Championship

6-8 March 2025 , Vatra Dornei, Romania

The European Youth Go Championship is an annual tournament that brings together young Go players from across Europe to compete, learn, and celebrate the game. This year marks the 30th edition of the championship, a significant milestone that brings it full circle to its origins in Romania. The very first edition was held in 1996 at Băile Felix, Romania, making this event not only a prestigious competition but also a homecoming for European youth Go.

To dive deeper into the rich history of the European Youth Go Championship, we invite you to explore a beautiful work of art showcasing the journey of EYGC, from its early days. This remarkable piece was unveiled in Moscow during the 2019 championship.

This year’s championship is proudly organized by Asociația Dorna Go and the local Go club CSM Dorna, in partnership with The Romanian Go Federation and the European Go Federation. Together, we look forward to creating another memorable chapter in EYGC history!
