EUIC breaks competitive Pokémon record, becomes franchise’s biggest tournament ever
Pokémon is one of the world’s biggest media brands, and its products have a competitive scene that continues to grow year after year. With 2024’s Europe International Championships (EUIC,) the franchise broke its record for the biggest official tournament ever across all games and age ranges.
EUIC 2024 is now the “largest in-person tournament” that The Pokémon Company has ever hosted, pulling more than 4,500 competitors across four different games and each age bracket, a Pokémon spokesperson confirmed to Dot Esports. This doesn’t mean it is the biggest turnout for each category individually overall, though it is for at least one of the offered titles.
