The European Powerlifting Federation (EPF) 2024 European Equipped Powerlifting Championships (EEC) will be held in Hamm, Luxembourg from May 7-12, 2024. This contest has been held annually since 1983, making it one of the world’s oldest and most historic international championships.
The contest begins with Sub-Junior lifters (ages 14-18), continues through the Junior categories (ages 19-23), and concludes with the Open category. The Masters categories (ages 40 and above) will compete separately at their own championships.
