Age categories

Our age categories are abbreviated with U / G / W / M.

This means that we have categories for Boys (U), Girls (G), Women (W), Men (M) and Men veterans(M35/45)

Each year the categories are adjusted according to the age categories used by the UEFA and national FA's. Starting point is the year the tournament is held.

So in 2024, the category U11 is for boys born on/after 01.01.2013. For G15 it is for girls born on/after 01.01.2009.

 

The calculation is as following:

Year of the tournament (2024) minus the age category (f.e. U11) = 2024 - 11 = 2013. So in 2024 the  U11 category is for boys born on/after 01.01.2013.

U11 = boys born on/after 01.01.2013 (take 2024 - 11 = 2013)

U12 = boys born on/after 01.01.2012

U13 = boys born on/after 01.01.2011

Etc. 

G11 = Girls born on/after 01.01.2013

G13 = Girls born on/after 01.01.2011

G15 = Girls born on/after 01.01.2009

Etc.

Seniors:

W-O = Women open age

M-O = Men open age
