Everything is ready for the XIV Ordinary Congress of the European Canoe Association which is scheduled for this Saturday in Serbian capital Belgrade. Delegates are expected to arrive to “White City” on Friday.
Delegates from 35 European countries have confirmed their participation at the XIV Ordinary Congress of the European Canoe Association. They will discuss the future challenges and tasks of European Canoeing as well as vote for president of the European Canoe Association, representatives in the ECA Board of Directors, continental representatives in the ICF Board of directors and new auditor.
During the congress the 2019 European Games in Minsk will be presented as well to the delegates who will arrive to Serbia. Canoe Sprint is in the competition programme of the European Games which are coming this June and will also count as European Championships as there will be no ECA Canoe Sprint European Championships held in the year of the European Games.

Albert Woods OBE is a candidate of British Canoeing and has led European Canoe Association since its beginning in 1993. He has rich experience in canoeing as a former athlete, team manager, official and in leading positions of sport organisations, including British Olympic Association where he is honorary life vicepresident.

Marta Felpeto Lamas from Spain, Manuela Gawehn from Germany and Andrej Jelenc from Slovenia are running for re-election, while Elena Iskhakova from Russia and Jovana Stanojevi? from Serbia are running for their first term in the ECA Board of Directors.
After new and old Board of Directors members are elected delegates at the congress will vote for the two continental representatives in the ICF Board of Directors. These representatives will have to be selected from the ECA Board of Directors members, with a minimum of one from the minority gender.
