Yeti’s Cup 2026: An International-Scale Event
Yeti’s Cup 2026 is set to be a record-breaking event for inline hockey in France and across Europe. Since its inaugural edition, the tournament has established itself as one of Europe’s premier inline hockey competitions, attracting top teams and growing in scale every year.

- 204 matches played over six days
- More than 800 players competing
The Yeti’s Grenoble, organisers of this flagship event, have successfully brought together an international community of passionate players, creating a tournament that has become a must-attend fixture on the European inline hockey calendar. Combining the intensity of ice hockey with the speed and agility of inline skating, inline hockey attracts some of the continent’s top athletes, and this third edition highlights the tournament’s continued growth and increasing professionalism.
VOGO and VOKKERO UNITY Systems: Innovating Sports Officiating
For this third edition, VOGO has partnered with the Yeti’s Grenoble to equip referees with VOKKERO UNITY communication systems. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the tournament’s ongoing professionalisation, enhancing communication between officials and supporting smoother, more consistent officiating throughout the competition.
With 204 matches taking place over six days across two rinks, seamless, real-time communication between referees and officials is essential. VOKKERO UNITY systems help ensure:
- Smoother gameplay by reducing unnecessary interruptions
- Consistent officiating decisions across both rinks, ensuring the same refereeing standards throughout the tournament
- Enhanced player safety through faster communication and a more effective response to on-court incidents
- A more professional tournament experience, aligned with the highest European standards
- Efficient time management, helping the tournament stay on schedule throughout its demanding six-day programme
These systems are internationally recognised for their crystal-clear audio quality, reliable range, durability in demanding match conditions, and ease of use.
