Not only is the traditional IWT 16th Czech Open being held on November 6th-8th, but this time we are also hosting the 18th FIR World Doubles Championships on November 5th-6th. Both tournaments will take place in the well-known venue, Hector, which provides four courts for each racketlon discipline. For the World Championships, we offer the maximum number of 27 categories.

Accommodation
Regarding the accommodation, we can offer you two tournament hotels – Villa and Populus. Please make your reservation on time, as the capacity is limited and “first come, first served”.
There will be shuttle service available during the whole day between both hotels and the sports venue, Hector. To travel from the airport, we can organize for you the transfer for an additional fee. You can also use the taxi service directly at the airport or public transportation.
