Regarded by many as the "World Youth Cup" The Gothia Cup is an amazing tournament bringing in teams from across the globe.  Below are some sample images from the tournament.  Click the link on the left for a full itinerary.  We recommend flying to England first for some training sessions and then heading over to Sweden. 

All clubs, which are members of their FIFA affiliated national associations, are welcome to participate in the Gothia Cup. The tournament begins with group play. Teams are divided into groups of four or five, where all teams are playing each other once. The first and second team in the group qualify for “Play-off A”, the other teams in the group for “Play-off B”.

The tournament is played under all applicable FIFA or Swedish FA rules. All players must be insured, both for games and leisure time. Arrival for all teams is on July 12. Kick-off for the preliminary-round games is on July 13.
