Luxembourg's footgolf team: outsiders with World Cup dreams in Hungary!
Preparations for the qualifying round for the 2026 Footgolf World Championship are in full swing. From June 6th to 8th, 2025, this important event will take place in Bük, Hungary. The Luxembourg national team will travel to Hungary on Thursday morning in a minibus on a twelve-hour journey to compete against eleven other nations and to secure one of the remaining six starting places for next year's tournament. The World Cup will be held in Acapulco, Mexico from May 28 to June 9, 2026.
Luxembourg is considered an outsider. At the last European Championship in Turkey, the team was unable to place among the top nine teams and therefore had to qualify for the upcoming World Cup. Nevertheless, the team is optimistic and ready to give their best. Bük is well known to players as it hosted the 2021 European Championships, where Luxembourg came 9th out of 16 participants.
The nominees for the tournament
Five players have been nominated for the upcoming qualifying tournament: captain Pasquale Antonicelli, Alain Parage, Paulino Dias, Daniele Schiavone and Jean-Claude Logeling. Each participating country must provide at least four players, with the best result of the four best players being counted in the ranking. In the event of a tie, the result of the fifth player will decide.
The tournament will be played in “Stroke Play” mode over two rounds: the first round will take place on Saturday and the final round on Sunday. On Friday there will be an official warm-up for all participants to adjust to the conditions on site.
