All the Team Manager news are published on this page. We will be adding to these on an ongoing basis.
Airport Transportation to accommodation hotels is provided by LOC to those registered with Full Package with Accommodation or to those with a Day Package with Accommodation arriving or departing on the days that airport transportation is provided.
Arrival Airport Transportation
- Saturday 20th July (20.7.2024)
- Sunday 21st July (21.7.2024)
Departure Airport Transportatio
- Sunday 28th July (28.7.2024)
The exact Airport Transportation Schedule depends on the arrival times of teams and there may be a waiting period at the Airport. LOC can only provide transportation to those who have given their arrival and departure information in advance so make sure that your athletes have updated their travel information to the registration system.
If athletes are arriving or departing outside of the given airport transportation days then they are adviced to use public transportation or taxis at their own expense. The Lisbon Metro system is easily accessible at the Airport and takes passengers from Airport to Lisbon City Center. There is a Metro station near the hotel cluster where ETSC office and on-site registration will be located.
All countries that have Junior JM2/JF2 (15-17 years)!
All JM2/JF2 category athletes can choose to compete in the adults M2/F2 (18-29 years) category. If a Junior athlete chooses to compete in the adult category they will compete for adult category medals and they will not be medalled separately. Junior categories generally do not have a lot of competition and in most cases there is one or max 2 junior athletes per sport/discipline. If your Junior athletes chooses to compete in the adult category then you must inform LOC by next Monday. No changes are not allowed after that.

Basketball is cancelled!
At the time when registration closed there were only 5 registrations to Basketball and not even one full team from any country. The event is cancelled and the affected athletes are allowed to pick another sport if they want to.
Countries (and athletes) that are effected by this are: Italy (Brecciraoli, Cecconi), Kazakhstan (Orazbek), France (Lepage) and Portugal (Duarte).
- Proof of handicap needs to be dated and delivered to me by email (
This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) between June 10th and July 8th. Please collect all you team's documents and send then all at once. - Team Golf partners need to be given at the same time as other partner information. Once registration closes there is a period of two weeks to complete and make changes to sports (LOC will communicate the exact dates).
- Golf Singles and Team will be played using the same Stableford -system
All participants must have personal travel insurance. Also all athletes should have additional insurance for sports if that is possible as many travel insurances do not cover sport injuries.
LOC is obliged to have a general liability insurance in case their actions cause bodily injury, property damage etc. but that does not cover athletes own accidents.
Dear Team Managers and Country Representatives, there have been a lot of questions about the accommodation but the quantity and diversity of the accommodation options makes it difficult to share more detailed information about each category. Despite that, we would like to share a little bit more information about the University accommodation:
University accommodation is available at two locations; Lisbon and Carcavelos. Single rooms are available on both locations and double rooms are only available in Carcavelos, which is approximately 15 km away from Lisbon city centre. Carcavelos is a very nice beach resort and all athletes/supporters located there will have transportation arranged by the LOC to all Sports Venues and Social Events. Lisbon University accommodation does not have air conditioning but both single and double rooms in Carcavelos have air conditioning. All the Hotel accommodation options are located in Lisbon so for those who have already booked University double room option but want to be located nearer to the Lisbon University Complex need to change their accommodation to hotel accommodation option. The registration fee will be adjusted accordingly.
The Rules and Regulations document is aimed for current and future ETSC organisers (LOC) but also contain a lot of information about the sports, medallig system, age categories etc. so it is also very useful for Team Managers and Country Representative who wish to have deeper understanding of the ETSC events.
If you wish to extend your stay beyond the event dates, please fill out the following form to reserve additional nights at your chosen accommodation - Click here to access the Extra Nights Booking Form.
The link is also visible on the Registration -page.
Extra night bookings will be paid by each participant directly to the LOC through a payment link.
The Registration Instructions have been updated and now include basic Instructions for editing registrations and making the direct payments to LOC (if this payment method is chosen).
LOC has worked hard and is now ready to offer a direct payment method where participants could pay their registration fee directly to LOC. This would free Team Managers/National organisation from collecting the registration fees from their team members. The original payment option is still available for countries that want to collect the registration fees from team members and make a collective payment to LOC.
Only one payment method option is available per team so each Team Manager but complete the attached survey and choose which payment method they wish to use. You must consult your National Organisation before giving your answer and read through the explanatory text in the survey.
If you choose the direct payment option then LOC will send you, once or twice a week, a confirmation email to which you have to reply and confirm the new registrations so that LOC can start the direct payment process. You also have to let your team members know that they will receive a payment link via email from LOC (O-Sports).
Please read through the survey and consult your National Organisation before answering the survey and do not hesitate to ask questions if needed.
The first Live Stream for ETSC 2024 Lisbon is held on Wednesday 13th March (13.3.2024) at 5pm (Portugal time).

It is now possible for participants to edit their registration information via the login information that they recieve on their registration confirmation email. Participants can edit their General Information and Sports and also upload a missing photo. Changes to Registration Packages need to sorted out with LOC.
We have started to compile Frequently Asked Questions -page to the ETSC website. We will add more topics as we go along.
Examples of the different Accommodation levels are listed in the website. This is the most that we have at the moment.
LOC has a pool of hotels. LOC will use various hotels depending how many registrations each level of Accommodation gets. Team Managers or athletes cannot book a specific hotel, only the level of Accommodation they want. LOC will allocate teams/athletes to hotels later.
Extra beds are available for 3 star and 4 star hotels and junior prices are valid if the junior shares a room with two adults. All prices are per person, not per room.
Registration is now open. You can also find Registration Instructions -file giving you basic instructions on how to register.
Donor events are listed in the Sport Rules and include 5km Mini-Marathon and Track & Field events (100m, Ball Throw and Long Jump).
All registration packages are released. All prices are per person (not per room).
ETSC 2024 offers two Junior Categories; 12-14 years (JM1/JF1) and 15-17 years (JM2/JF2). 15-17 year olds are allowed to participate in adult 18-29 years (M2/F2) category but have to remain in that category for the whole event.
