The Young Hawks Cup has something to offer for everybody. With a minimum of three matches a day, there’s absolutely no need to get bored. And besides this, Munich will provide plenty of entertainment to have a good time in the evenings as well. On Friday evening the team leaders will be welcomed by the mayor at the town hall of Markt Schwaben. Transport will be provided for team leaders staying in Munich. This evening, the competitors are free to do as they please. But on Saturday the tournament really begins. After the opening ceremony teams will spend the day playing lots of football. In the evening however it’s time to explore Markt Schwaben or maybe even Munich which is ‘just around the corner’. On Sunday all teams are expected back on the pitches in Markt Schwaben to play the remaining group matches. After this, it will be clear which teams will be playing the finals in the afternoon and which teams will collect the trophies during the prize-giving ceremony that starts directly afterwards.

The new, hyper-advanced stadium is an absolute eye-catcher with its transparent dome that can be lit in various colours and it is visible from miles away. The new stadium has a capacity of 66,000 seats. See also www.allianz-arena.de.

The stadium, hall, swimming bath and tennis park are open to everyone. There are daily tours with a guide, and large events and concerts are regularly organised in the park. There are also a number of restaurants here, including the revolving restaurant at the top of the Olympiaturm tower (290 m high) which is certainly worth the effort.

Markt Schwaben (11.000 inhabitants) is situated in Bavaria at about 15 miles from Munich. It’s a cozy town that dates back to the 11th century with a medieval centre. Among its attractions are the old castle, now part of the town hall, and the Heimat Museum. The coat of arms of Markt Schwaben pictures a white Hawk (Falke) with its wings spread out against a red background. Hence the names FC Falke and YoungHawks Cup.

Traditional Bavarian architecture, many shops in the partially pedestrianised centre. The nearby Viktualienmarkt, a traditional market, is a meeting place for young and old alike. When the weather permits, the long wooden tables here are soon filled with people who come to eat sausages and drink beer. An important district for entertainment is Schwabing, to the north of the centre. Behind the Leopoldstrasse you'll find the Münchener Freiheit, of which the nightlife is well known not only in Munich but also much further afield'Out of Munich' is the biggest discotheque in Bavaria.
