RIMINI - There has been a settlement at Rimini since pre-historic times. Rimini today is a thriving, bustling resort on the Italian Riviera that boasts "over a thousand hotels". It is one of the least pretentious towns in Italy. With 15km of beaches the beachfront is by far the number one reason anybody comes to Rimini.

The whole town is geared towards tourists, so there are bars and nightclubs everywhere. Once the sun goes down, the streets of Rimini come alive with lights, colour and noise as the sunbathers of the day become the revellers of the evening.

Your stay will be on a half-board basis; Bed, Breakfast and Evening Meal daily.

The Super Card will enable players and coaches not only to take part in the tournament but also to get: a tournament medal (for players only), free entry to the Olympic Stadium for the Opening Ceremony and Prize Giving Ceremony, a special price for the tournament disco, a special price for the daily use of the Olympic Swimming Pool by the Multieventi centre and the yellow card called Tutto San Marino, that entitles you to discounts in some shops and some museums of the Republic of San Marino.
