The European Junior Curling Tour (EJCT) tournament was held in Baden for the first time – and the premiere was a resounding success. High-class games, fair competition and an enthusiastic crowd made the weekend at the Baden-Dättwil curling hall a special highlight in international U21 junior curling. Ten teams in the women's and men's competitions played many exciting games.

Fair play is one of the most beautiful aspects of sport – and it is particularly deeply rooted in curling. Anyone who has ever experienced a curling tournament knows that it is not just about winning, but also about respect, honesty and the famous spirit of curling. That's exactly why the EJCT Baden has created the Fair Play Award. What makes this award even more special is that it is not presented by Empires or a jury, but by the players themselves. Those who receive the award therefore enjoy the highest form of recognition: the respect of their colleagues. It is fitting that the Fair Play Award 2025 is supported by Sportpat.ch. Like no other partner, Sportpat.ch embodies the values that define sport: fairness, respect and the honest promotion of athletes.
