The highly anticipated international scaffolding championship, ScaffChamp 2025, has confirmed its full roster of 20 teams, marking a significant milestone for the event.
Taking place in Vilnius, Lithuania, June 5th – 7th, ScaffChamp is the ultimate test of skill and teamwork for scaffolding professionals, challenging competitors in speed, precision, and safety standards.
The event has become a key industry showcase, bringing together the best scaffolders worldwide to compete in various technical challenges.
Despite the registration window remaining open for six weeks, most applications were submitted within the first few days, ScaffChamp organisers told Scaffmag.
However, confirming the final teams has proved a more prolonged process. Organisers received an overwhelming 71 applications, though not all were able to proceed.
Oleg Abramovas, Head of ScaffChamp Operations, said: “We’re thrilled to have secured 20 strong teams for this year’s championship. While some teams had to withdraw, many have already expressed their intent to participate in 2026.
To assist them, we will announce the date for ScaffChamp 2026 immediately after this year’s event, giving potential competitors more than a year to prepare.”
Expanding Global Representation
ScaffChamp 2025 will see representation from a diverse range of countries, with four new regions joining the competition for the first time: the USA, France, Italy, and Germany.
Other returning nations include Poland, Norway, Ireland, Lithuania, Hungary, Sweden, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Turkey, and Mongolia.
Turkey’s participation is particularly noteworthy, as their team will be composed of members from five different companies. Additionally, Poland and Hungary will conduct local qualifying rounds to determine their representatives.
UK Absence, But Future Hopes Remain
Despite the global expansion, the UK will not be fielding a team in this year’s championship. However, organisers are optimistic that at least one British team will compete in 2026.
“We were close to having a team from the UK this year, and we expect to see representation next time,” Abramovas added
The competition has also drawn interest from scaffolding teams in Australia and South Africa, though neither will be present this year.
With plans to announce the 2026 championship date well in advance, organisers hope to secure even broader international participation in the future.
