Ukraine won the World Street Fishing Championship held in Haarlem, while France and Moldova took the remaining podium spots. Team Holland finished in a disappointing ninth place out of fifteen countries despite hopes for a better result on home water.
Ukraine secured the gold medal at the World Street Fishing Championship, which concluded after two days of competition in Haarlem. The national teams of France and Moldova followed in second and third place, respectively. Over the course of the event, participants from fifteen different countries competed by fishing in the city's canals, with final rankings determined by the cumulative length of predatory fish caught, such as perch and pike.
Team Holland finished in a disappointing ninth place despite having the advantage of competing on home soil and completing extensive training beforehand. National coach Jan-Jaap van Heiningen expressed his frustration with the outcome, noting that the team had higher expectations for the tournament. Although the performance fell short of their goals, the Dutch team managed to finish one position ahead of the previous defending champions, Hungary.
