Dana Cup

CHALLENGES26th to the 31st of July 2010

Dana Cup is all about soccer. It is a tournament where teams from all around the world can match themselves against other teams of the same age and where the battle for the trophies gives the Dana Cup week it’s pulse and energy.

Stars from international soccer have participated in the Dana Cup before their names became known all around the world. Like Zé Roberto from Hamburg SV and Brazil´s national team. Or Denmark’s Brian Laudrup – European Champion from 1992.

Every year Dana Cup can present some of the most fa-mous youth clubs from around the world. For example Pequeninos do Jockey from São Paulo in Brazil, Chi-vas Guadalajara from Mexico, ACAS from Cameroon or Chelsea FC from England.

At the Dana Cup, exotic teams from the other side of the world meet teams from all over Europe, from the Ural Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean, from the North Cape to the Mediterranean.

All teams are placed in groups with an international mixture.

Dana Cup uses more than 50 fantastic grassed soccer fields, so the tournament can be played at the highest level. An experienced group of referees make sure the tournament is played in a correct and fair manner.

More than 850 teams participate each year at the Dana Cup. When more than 2.000 games are played, 30 teams have made it to the A and B finals.

Regardless of level each team in the Dana Cup is cer-tain of playing a minimum of 4 games and they have the opportunity to test themselves in international competition.

These are the challenges of Dana Cup.
