Review of past tournaments
Last year the U17 competition was highly competitive and teams gave everything they had to win the title. The SC 04 Schwabach was at the start with two teams, with the first game against ASV Neumarkt ending in an exciting 1:1. Even adverse weather conditions, such as the cancellation of Laufer SV due to slippery conditions, could not reduce enthusiasm for the sport. Ultimately, the home team triumphed in a thrilling final against favorites ASV Neumarkt.
The tournament has now earned a high reputation among young teams in Germany and even Europe.
