The European Powerlifting Federation (EPF) 2024 European Classic Powerlifting Championships (ECC) will be held in Velika Gorica, Croatia, from March 12-17, 2024. 103 men and 111 women will gather from all over Europe to challenge for the title of European Champion.

It’s been a quick turnaround from the 2023 ECC held in December 2023. The 2023 European Champions have had a short tenure due to a reorganization of the international calendar. The competition will remain in March for the next few years at least.
