Dutch mixed superteam GRUT lead the way when the 2023 club season kicks off with EUCR Mixed North & Central in Malmö on August 26-27.
Eight mixed teams from six countries compete for the three spots to EUCF in Wroclaw later this fall.
All 24 games are live streamed here at Ulticast .
EUCR Mixed North & Central is played at Malmö Stadion with surrounding fields in central Malmö.
First year with North and Central combined
EUCR X in Malmö is the first year with North and Central as a combined region. This is due to decreasing number of teams after the pandemic.
The eight participating teams are:
Nullacht! Ultimate and Deine Mudder Bremen from Germany. Münster team Nullacht! is mix of youth and experience with several players represented in the 2023 German National U24 teams. Bremen are German Mixed bronze medalist from 2022.
Deine Mudder Bremen are reigning German bronze medalists
Belgium is sending two teams to Malmö: Owls from Brussels and Gentle Mixed from Ghent. Both teams are in a rebuilding phase. But coming from the new power region of Euro Ultimate, a mix of old and new talent is expected.
The university team DTU from Copeenhagen, Denmark, has a 30-minute train ride to Malmö. DTU specializes in mixed Ultimate with several national championships and being the core to the ambitious national team going to Australia in 2024.
From Estonia we welcome Tartu Turbulence and the largest squad of the EUCR X. An indication of a well prepared team looking for one of the 3 spots to Wroclaw.
The final two teams are Amsterdam super team GRUT and the hosts from Malmö Ultimate. Two teams in very different parts of the spectrum.
GRUT is the most successful mixed team in Europe seen over the last couple of years. An impressive resume: EUCF winners in 2022, five straight Windmill titles and a 5 th place at WUCC in 2022.

Malmö Ultimate is making its international debut. Even though Malmö was represented with close to 20 players in the Swedish youth and senior national teams earlier in 2023, this young and inexperienced team has realistically low set expectation. Still, Malmö aim to make life as difficult as possible for the guests.
Top Ultimate - live in Malmö or live streamed
If you happen to be in Malmö during EUCR X – join the fun at Malmö Stadion with Ultimate going on all days, all weekend.
A special recommendation is the derby between Malmö Utimate and DTU (Copenhagen). Game start is Saturday at 17:00, and Danish "rooligans" are expected.
