The European Federation of Touch has recently released it's latest memo - clarifying the structure of each playing division at the forthcoming European Touch Champs.

Entries are now confirmed* for the 2014 European Touch Championships, with 27 Open teams taking to the Touch fields of the Swansea University Sports Village in Wales over the period 7-10th August.

Please find enclosed the event overview for the 2015 Federation of International Touch (FIT) World Cup (2015 TWC), aligned with the attached Expression of Interest (EOI) form of which we are seeking a response by Wednesday, 11 December, 2013.

The Federation of International Touch (FIT) is the executive body for Touch globally and manages all aspects of the sport. One of the key areas of responsibilities for FIT is to improve the ongoing development of all female participants, including players, coaches, and referees; and another is to improve the ongoing development of all players at all stages of development. Introducing and developing Touch for children and youth is regarded by FIT as essential for the expansion and continuity of the sport.

Touch made it's way onto Europe's Setanta TV channel recently, in what is believed to be a first for the northern hemisphere.
