Zagreb, here we come!
QubicaAMF is pleased to confirm that the 46th Bowling World Cup will be held in the Croatian capital of Zagreb from 15th to 24th October 2010.
The announcement was made at the victory banquet to celebrate the 45th playing of the event in Melaka, Malaysia.
The centre in Zagreb, known as Bowling 300 Zagreb, opened on the 18th December 2009, and is the first project from investment company 300 d.o.o. , who are planning to build additional QubicaAMF equipped centres in other major cities in Croatia. It has 32 lanes and will surely be a big hit in a country where bowling is still a new sport.
This high-tech facility will be offering all visitors the best experience bowling can offer with QubicaAMF’s latest BES Scoring, including touch screen monitors, XLi pinspotters, Superior Performance Lanes with automatic bumpers. The centre also features 4 lanes of QubicaAMF’s Highway 66, a unique miniature bowling experience specially designed for young children, and a special VIP area with two large screens and private bar.
Other facilities include eight billiard tables, restaurant and cocktail bar - and with a night club due to open shortly, Bowling 300 Zagreb is set to be one of the most happening places in Zagreb. Ideally placed, Bowling 300 Zagreb is just 15 minutes from Zagreb’s international airport and is adjacent to City One, the most popular shopping mall in the city.
Marko Macek, Chief Executive of Bowling 300 Zagreb had the joy of making that initial announcement in Melaka, said: “This is a landmark for bowling in Croatia and we are so pleased to bring the world’s most prestigious tournament to Zagreb.
“We know players, officials and guests will experience the vitality and vibrancy of a new sport in a new centre, held in a new city which has great historic roots.” QubicaAMF’s Vice President Ron Wood said that with so many attractive options for the World Cup location, it can be difficult to make the selection but Croatia stood out as an exceptional destination: “The history and beauty of the country and their love for sport will undoubtedly make for a very bright future for bowling in the region.”
Croatia first took part in the QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup in 1995 when Franjo Katalenic was the representative, though the first Croatian woman to take party was Ljiljana Rakamaric in 2005. Marijan Valecic was the player in Melaka and he finished in 86th place.
Anne-Marie Board, QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup Manager, commented: “The new centre is very imposing and one of a number of major developments all over Zagreb. I am sure everyone will be impressed by the centre and the vibrant city.”
Croatia, part of the former Yugoslavia until the 1990s, was internationally recognised as a sovereign independent state in 1992, and is now a candidate for membership of the European Union. It has striking natural beauty and its coast is a popular tourist destination. Zagreb’s old town is a blend of Gothic and Baroque, while the modern city is growing apace.
