SO HOW MANY TEAMS WILL QUALIFY FOR THE REGIONAL FINALS FROM EACH OF GROUP A , B & C ? CAN YOU PLEASE CLEAR THIS QUERY @CZARSPORTZ , BTW , A BIG FAN & FOLLOWER OF YOU SINCE 2018 ❤️🏏
Hello Kapil
Top 2 teams (Finalists) from each of the sub-regional qualifiers will advance to the Europe Qualifier.
Thanks and regards,

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY
Hello
But as much I know, only the winner of Sub Regional Qualifier A, i.e., Italy qualified for the regional finals and not the two finalists…Will you please clarify
Thank you
Hello Aditya
That is correct. The winners of the three European sub-regional qualifiers will join Scotland and Netherlands in the European Qualifier in 2025.
Thanks and regards,

Do you know the cricket grounds being used for these qualifiers in Germany?
Hello Susan
Pretty sure the ground, Bayer Uerdingen Cricket in Krefeld, will be used for this. It is the high-performance center for the German Teams as well and has already hosted T20Is for both Men’s and Women’s.
Thanks and regards,

Any idea where and how to buy tickets?
Hello Paul
We don’t have any relevant information on this one. But guessing, Cricket Germany will definitely post something about it, as the event gets closer. The whole event will also be available on ICC TV globally, except the South Asian subcontinent.
Thanks and regards,
