The venue: the CET hall


The CET is one of the most beautiful sports center in the province of Hainaut. The Hall has hosted some big events like professional basket-ball games and the Harlem Globe Trotters’ show as well as the tennis Davis Cup game between Belgium and Zimbabwé in 2004… and the FISTF World Cup 2005!


Most of the hotels are situated at less than one km from the hall. Players can therefore walk between the hall and their hotels. A large cafeteria, dressing rooms and big stands make the hall is very nice.

The city of Tournai


Tournai is a wonderful city with a very famous past. The city has many assets to organize a very nice event. People who like to go out will discover excellent restaurants, pubs and nightclubs as well.

Tournai is close to the French border but it’s very easy to get there. Players coming by plane can take a train to Tournai from both Brussels and Brussels South/Charleroi airports. It won’t take you more than one hour from Charleroi and about 90 minutes from Brussels. The Tournai train station is at one km only from the CET Hall.

The players who come for a longer period in Belgium will be invited to visit some of the country’s most beautiful places (Bruges, Brussels, Antwerp, Gent). All these cities can be reached in one hour by car. There are also easy and cheap connections by train. Players who want to play table football and to practice before the tournament will have the possibility to play every day between 9.00 am and 9.00 pm in the club’s room of Templeuve United, at 10 km from the heart of Tournai.
