- You can fly directly to Łódź from Dublin, Birmingham, London-Stansted, Brussels or Milan, otherwise check flights to Warsaw airports (Warsaw Chopin or Warsaw Modlin). From there you can take a direct bus (1h30) to the Łódź Fabryczna train station which is a 10 minute walk from the venue,

- We are going to open spectator ticket sale after qualification stage ends (second part of January 2026), so all players who did not manage to qualify will still have a chance to attend.
