Quadball

Be the golden snitch in the world of quaffles

As a EuroGames first, we are proud to offer Quadball in our official sports programme together with our partner the International Quadball Association (IQA).

Quadball, formerly known as Quidditch, is a competitive sport growing rapidly around the world, played by all ages from school-age children to adults.

Originally based on the fictional sport in the Harry Potter series, Quadball was adapted to a physical and tactical sport while maintaining the spirit of the source material by fans in 2005. It has since grown into a worldwide phenomenon and is one of the few mixed-gender full contact sports. Quadball is played in over 30 countries and governed by the International Quadball Association (IQA).

Registration is possible only for teams for players with sufficient knowledge. This is due to safety reasons as Quadball is a mixed-gender full contact game. People with no knowledge on how to play might get hurt or hurt others unnecessarily. For people interested in playing Quadball, we suggest joining a local team in preparation for EuroGames Bern 2023.

We have affordable accommodation available for teams in our Swiss Bunker for 49 Swiss Francs per night including breakast.
