This year's competition is officially underway in Estonia

On the first two days of the competition, all eight participating teams played three matches each, with two on 3rd June and one on 4th June. After these first three matches, 2022 finalists, BSC Thunder Arvutitark currently sit top of the league table after they amassed three huge victories including a 6-3 win over SK Auger Enemat, overcame third place, BSC Copenhagen 4-3, and impressively executed a decisive 6-1 triumph against Bemannia FC Stockholm, to achieve the best possible start to their campaign, claiming all nine points from their opening fixtures.
Second place, Pure Nordic Water will be eager to catch the current league leaders, as they also had a great start to the season and currently sit only one point behind BSC Thunder Arvutitark, with BSC Copenhagen and Nõmme BSC Olybet level on six points.
