At the turn of the year 2007/2008, the petanque federation Great Britain dissolved, instead pétanque federations were formed in England, Wales and Scotland, which were incorporated into the Fédération Internationale de Pétanque et Jeu Provençal (FIPJP). All three countries as well as Turkey have registered teams for the EuroCup 2008.
