Inline Hockey

After the great exit of the 2016 edition, the inline hockey movement is back to the "Altopiano di Asiago" in Italy: since 14 to 28 July, 880 athletes of 64 teams from 26 countries will play the best inline hockey you have ever seen in the beautiful venues of Hodegart - Asiago - and PalaRoboana in Roana. In the first week, 14 to 21 July, the Senior Women and Junior Men will play for the Gold Medal, whilst since 22 to 28 it will be the turn of the Junior Women and Senior Men.
The Altopiano has a strong tradition in the discipline and, as already in 2016, there will surely be a great affluence.
