A first-of-its-kind digital-only competition will see Europe’s best Men’s Artistic Gymnastics (MAG) clubs go head-to-head this winter in European Gymnastics’ MAG Online European Club Cup (ECC).

The competition will see 32 clubs go head-to-head over a 10-week-long season starting later this month. Competing clubs will be able to take part from their home training venue, removing the need for often costly and logistically challenging travel.

Competitions will be run through the Elevien app, with clubs able to submit videos of their gymnasts performing on all six MAG disciplines for judging during set competition windows. Once submitted, qualified judges will be able to watch and score the submitted performances via a laptop or smartphone, with points added to an online league table visible via a dedicated portal.

The first phase of the ECC will see all 32 clubs contest three Matchdays during the Group Stages, which will in turn decide seeding for the knockout phase of the competition (Round of 16 and Quarter-finals). The last four remaining clubs will then go head-to-head during a three-day-long final competition phase at the end of January 2027. During this phase, clubs will be required to submit videos of their gymnasts performing on all six disciplines, with just one opportunity to do so and no make-ups allowed. The results from each of the six matches will then be aggregated to determine the inaugural European Club Cup winners.

Clubs wishing to take part in the pilot competition and contest a share of the prize fund can register via the dedicated ECC Elevien page until 16 November 2026.
