Aalborg City Cup Aalborg, Denmark - 13 untill 15 May 2010 (Ascension) (dk)

The Aalborg City Cup is the perfect combination of a tournament and the attractions of a big city such as amusement park Tivoli Karolinelund. To ensure that everyone has enough time to see it all, it’s possible to arrive already on Wednesday. On Thursday morning the first matches will begin, followed in the afternoon with the official opening on the sports park of Aalborg Freja. In the evening after dinner the youngest participants (U9-U12 and G12) are invited to take a dive in the Haraldslund swimming pool for a ‘swim by night’ (free entrance). For the other participants the tournament marquee will be transformed into a dance arena for the disco night (non alcoholic). Meanwhile the team leaders are invited to meet their hosts in the clubhouse of Aalborg Freja for a pleasant evening with live music and barbecue. On Friday the tournament continues an after dinner and all participants are free to visit Karolinelund for an evening. On Saturday the classification matches and finals will be played, followed in the evening by the prize-giving ceremony. On Sunday, before going home there's still a chance to visit Tivoliland Karolinelund for free.
