5-star competition
Looking for a tournament with a great mix of nationalities? Then the Aalborg City Cup is the one for you. The preliminary rounds offer a fantastic international selection, so you really are assured of an international competition. With this ace up their sleeves, the organisers are well placed to get their tournament to the top of the rankings. But to properly organise a tournament with 300 teams and 1,000 matches in 3 days you need lots of volunteers and, above all, top facilities. Fortunately, the organisers score top marks for both.
