Registration set to open for prestigious competition as organisers aim for more global participation

Organisers have exclusively revealed to Scaffmag that the ScaffChamp international scaffolding championship will return to Vilnius, Lithuania, on 5–6 June 2026.

The competition, which brings together elite scaffolding teams from around the world, will once again feature 20 teams competing at the same venue as the previous year’s event.

Reigning champions RNDV have already secured their place in the 2026 championship, with organisers now preparing to open registration for the remaining spots.

Global reach

In a bid to expand the competition’s international appeal, organisers have reserved three places specifically for teams from Asia, Africa, and Australia or New Zealand. The reserved spots will remain available until January 2026, with organisers acknowledging the logistical challenges of bringing teams from these regions to Lithuania.

“Chile has already shown that nothing is impossible,” organisers said, referencing the South American nation’s participation in previous editions.

If no teams from the designated regions apply by the January deadline, the three reserved places will be opened to all competitors without regional restrictions.

Supporting the next generation

As recently reported, one place has been dedicated to a joint team of Scottish and Northern Irish apprentices, forming part of an initiative to encourage young people into the scaffolding profession.

The scheme aims to promote interest and motivation among the next generation of scaffolders, providing apprentices with the opportunity to compete on an international stage.

Registration details

In a departure from previous years, registration is set to open tomorrow (1 October) through an application form on the ScaffChamp website, making 15 spots immediately available to teams worldwide.

The decision to open registration four months earlier than usual – normally held in January – reflects the organisers’ ambition to attract a more diverse international field and allow teams adequate time to prepare.

Since its launch in 2019, the championship has become a premier event in the scaffolding industry, showcasing technical skill, safety practices and teamwork among international competitors.

Further details about the competition format and requirements are expected to be released when registration opens.
