Netherlands: Promotion Class Cup 2025 Set for August 23-24
The third edition of the Promotion League Cup will take place next weekend, with matches scheduled at Victoria (Ladies) and Cartouche (Men). The tournament serves as a warm-up for the new season, which officially begins on Sunday, September 7.
This year, five men’s teams will compete, a smaller lineup than previous editions. Organizers note this could reflect either reduced interest or a preference by some clubs for alternative preparations. On the women’s side, nine teams are participating, divided into three pools.
The women’s competition will conclude on Sunday, August 24, with final matches kicking off at 12:00, 12:15, 14:00, and 14:15.
