The IQA European Games (EG) are the biennial games for the sport of Quadball held in Europe where national governing bodies send national teams to compete.

Bid on by European cities,[7] the organizational body Quidditch Europe decided on Sarteano, Italy to host the games.

[8] Sarteano proceeded to host an aggressive advertising campaign across the country[9] as well as locally which included the sale of specially made artisanal crafts, wine and cheese.

The groups themselves were split into pots based on EQC rankings[13] and seasonal performance matched up.

[14] The top four teams from each group qualified for the bracket stage, where brackets were determined using the following criteria: games won, head-to-head, QPD[note 1] and SWIM catches.
