Welcoming words from our officials
Ioannis Karras
Hellenic Rowing Federation president
Τhe rowing course of Ioannina, although the first one in Greece until 2004, has not hosted major international event for long. However, the city has not forgotten its history and its great potential and therefore the Epirus Prefecture along with the Municipality of Ioannina pioneered to make a new start for hosting events in this venue. Having by their side the Greek Rowing Federation, the Deputy Ministry of Sports, the PEAKI (manager of the facilities) and the Nautical Club of Ioannina as main partners, they have mutually decided and applied for the organization of the European Rowing Under 23 Championships in 2019.
The European Rowing Federations entrusted us, and today that we have already undertaken the responsibility of this event, we have all agreed to provide a successful organization and fair racing conditions as well as offer the participants the opportunity to learn about the history of the city and enjoy the incredible beauty of its surrounding nature.
By our side, we have the Hotel Association of Ioannina, a large group of volunteers who will meet the great needs of the organization and people with knowledge, skills, and influence, capable to manage any existing issue or problems that may arise during the event.
The time of this event is approaching and we have all opened a big and warm hug to welcome all participating European Young Rowers and their Federations!
Alexandros Kachrimanis
Governor of the Region of Epirus
The Region of Epirus is very proud that its capital city, Ioannina, will host one of the top sporting events, the 2019 European Rowing Under 23 Championship. We are very confident that the athletes and their escorts will be delighted by the hospitality and the state-of-the-art rowing facilities of Lake Pamvotis, which in the past have also hosted large international events and they are ideal for high sporting performances.
The city of Ioannina has a rich history and culture. It has also a long tradition in rowing, as world champions have started their career here. This is an additional incentive for all of us, local stakeholders, rowing and sports enthusiasts to contribute to the successful organization of this world class Championship.
The Region of Epirus will actively support the organizers, by providing any kind of assistance and facilitation to the delegations so as to make sure that all participants and visitors will live a unique experience of great international sporting event.
I wish this Championship to be of great success.
We look forward to welcoming all athletes, coaches and their escorts in Epirus and Ioannina.
Thomas K. Mpegas
Mayor of Ioannina
After nineteen years, the city of Ioannina is once again hosting a major international rowing event. The European Rowing Under 23 Championships 2019.
Hosting the European Championship, which brings together more than 500 athletes from more than 30 countries in Europe, gives the city of Ioannina the chance to rejoin the international rowing map for the first time since the Nations Cup held in 1998 in Lake Pamvotis.
In September 2019, Ioannina will host a major international event where, with the support of all the agencies, the State, the local government, the Greek Rowing Federation, they will successfully carry out another difficult mission.
