Open Dutch 2023 poster!

We are still disappointed that we had to make the decision to cancel the 2022 edition of the Open Dutch. However, we are already planning for 2023. We’ve booked the venue, so we know the date! Let’s hope that by that time the pandemic is under control and things are back to “normal” again. We hope to see all of you on January 28th, 2023 in Helmond.

Omicron variant knocked down the Open Dutch, but it is not a knock out!

It regrets us to have to inform you all that we, unfortunately, have to cancel the Open Dutch 2022 as a result of the current lockdown in the Netherlands due to the Omicron variant of COVID. We are well aware that there are various groups of people who already registered and have booked flights and accommodations, we would like to urge everyone to cancel your plans, or reschedule for Saturday the 28th January 2023! We hope that the cancellation of the 2022 edition does not result in significant inconvenience for any of you, and we hope that we will be able to welcome you again Saturday the 28th January 2023. Once again, our sincere apologies.

Looking forward to the the first tournament!

In many countries, there’s still a full lockdown in place, and the same goes for The Netherlands. However, it appears that things are slowly getting better. Who would have thought that the world would come to a stop for a while? We miss everyone, and we are still planning to go ahead with Open Dutch 2022 (January 29th of 2022)! If you are, like us, reminiscing about those days where you could be in a sports venue with 700 of your closest friends, it may be the right time to flick through the Open Dutch 2020 photo album!
