The Organizing Committee reserves the right to eliminate one or more sports disciplines if the sufficient number of participants for the competitions and tournaments is not reached.

Frederikshavn is easily accessible
by all means of transport

Aalborg Airport, just 45 minutes from Frederikshavn, serves as a hub for many European routes.
An alternative to air travel is the maritime connections that cross the Skagerrak and Kattegat, allowing for a combination of car and ship transport.
Frederikshavn is also connected to the rest of Europe via the E45/A7 motorway, which extends from Frederikshavn in the north to the Danish-German border in the south, continuing onwards throughout much of Europe. Therefore, if one prefers traveling by bus or personal car, it’s quite feasible.
Of course, Frederikshavn can also be reached by train.
