Bulgaria is known for a unique cultural mannerism: a nod of the head means "no," while a shake of the head means "yes," which is the opposite of many other cultures. The Bulgarian team will be bringing this same unconventional spirit to the court, shaking their heads "yes" to every challenge and nodding "no" to defeat.
The Rubik's Cube, a global phenomenon, was invented in Hungary. Much like solving the famous puzzle, the Hungarian team will try to defend their championship title from last year's tournament with complex plays.
Croatia is the origin of the necktie, a major mark of pride annually celebrated on World Cravat Day. The Croatian team will be looking to play with flair and style, but also to "tie up" their opponents with relentless defence.
Slovakia's landscape is dominated by the majestic Tatra Mountains. The Slovakian team will aim to be just as resilient, showcasing a defence that is as tough and relentless as their country's mountainous terrain.
Beyond the competition, the tournament is a chance for all teams to connect with peers, form new friendships, and experience the diverse cultures of the participating nations.
