This tournament takes place in the villages Haps, Vianen, Rijkevoort, Wanroij, Stevensbeek, Oploo, Wilbertoord, Sint Hubert, Venray and Gennep. This is a rural area in the northeast of the province Noord-Brabant. The area is centered between the cities Nijmegen, Venlo and Eindhoven, close to the A73 motorway, near the German border.

The tournament will be played on Saturday and Sunday May 10/11 2008. In total there will be 30 excellent grass pitches in use over the weekend once again we expect to see nice, fair and good games there.

It is an international youth football tournament, for boys and girls. Teams have taken part from Belgium, Germany, England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Sweden, Denmark, USA, Austria, Hungary and Russia and of course the Netherlands – that’s one of the great things about this tournament the chance to play against opponents from different countries.

On Saturday the group-stage-games will be played on random grounds. On Sunday the entire age-group will play their final games on the same ground. Sunday the battle for the main trophy will start and, even more important, the Fair Play trophy. Games will be played in 16 different age-categories for boys and girls.

AGE GROUPS

The tournament is open to boys teams aged U9, 11, 12,13,14,15, 16,17,and 19. Note: Age groups are decided by year of birth not school year so, for example, Boys U13’s is for boys born January 1st 1995 and later. This is the same all over Europe (apart from in England!) ask about age concessions for your teams.
