Positioning
The Aleš Hřebeský Memorial is an international club box lacrosse tournament that its organisers call the most prestigious box lacrosse event in Europe. Annual, held in Prague since its founding, it gathers club teams from Europe and overseas. Named in memory of Aleš Hřebeský, a Czech player who died in 1993, the tournament carries both competitive weight and cultural significance within the European box community.

FTL Context
AHM is the only European club box event where domestic dominance is directly exposed at international level. Czech, German and emerging programs collide here — making it the clearest annual indicator of real club-level strength in Europe.
Club Ecosystem
Czech Republic (Home of the Event) · Germany (Club Depth) · England (Box Tradition)
Czech Republic remains the central reference point for box lacrosse in Europe, built on long-standing club culture and consistent international performance — AHM exists because Prague built a club ecosystem capable of sustaining it. Germany brings real club depth, making this a genuine annual test of the gap-closing at club level. England's box tradition gives the event its continental legitimacy beyond the Prague ecosystem.
