## To remember: FIP Bronze Houten 2026

The FIP Bronze in Houten (Netherlands), part of the **CUPRA FIP Tour 2026** calendar, kicks off with a rare density on the Belgian side: no less than eight matches involving black-yellow-red players from Tuesday March 3, spread over courts 7, 8 and 10, with schedules mostly announced as “not before”. In this format, Belgium will have a high profile right from the qualifying rounds, with the immediate challenge of placing several pairs in the next round.

The schedule features a large generation: **Braet/** **Coene**, **Vandelanotte/** **Torres-Jacobs**, **Guerin/** **Robin**, **Deschamps/** **De Peuter**, **De Vylder/** **Matthijssens**, **De Roose/** **Stas**, **Bazin/** **Valentin**, not forgetting the 100% Belgian **Schadeck/Van****Den Boschelle** derby against **Waterschoot/Swaerts**, which is bound to be special when the players know each other.

Opposite them, the big match-up is decidedly international, with the Germans, a Tunisian pair and two tests against Spain, including **Docampo Fuster** and the **Tur Checa/Leira****Gavilán** duo.
