The tournament for the Berlin Pokal takes place at a genuine hotspot: a beautiful sports venue right next to the legendary Tempelhofer Feld, a former airport that is now a huge park. Today, its runways welcome not aircraft, but hikers, skaters, runners and cyclists. You’ll be playing in a green oasis in the heart of Berlin – the perfect location for an international tournament. Organiser SV Tasmania Berlin and Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin have both a nice sports park with in total 7 pitches and a great stadium that is just a few kilometres from the bustling heart of Berlin.
SV Tasmania Berlin was established in 1973 and has 20 teams and around 750 members. Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin gained fame for its football division, which was promoted to the Bundesliga in 1986. The first team plays at a lower level these days and has an active youth and senior section with several teams in competition.
SV Tasmania Berlin has beautiful sports grounds in a park-like setting with four pitches, a fine stand at the main field and a large clubhouse. It also features a BBQ and terrace during the event. A 15-minute trip from the nearby metro station takes you to Alexanderplatz, right in the heart of the city. The 2nd organiser is Blauw_Weiß 90 Berlin. This illustrious club, which still played in the Bundesliga in the 1990s, plays with its teams on the fields at Rathuasstrasse, 4 km away from SV Tasmania Berlin. The club has 2 pitches for 11-vs-11 and 1 small pitch for the youngest teams.

Dynamic, creative, young and tenacious – throw these things into a pot, give it all a stir and you’ve got a heady cocktail which is 'toll' indeed. You'll be travelling to Berlin to play football, perhaps take a look at the landmarks and check out the nightlife. But the greatest reward to take from your trip to Berlin is to soak up the special atmosphere of the city as you wander the streets. The tournament will do the rest.
This former airport gave up that function in 2008 and has since developed to become a city park. Sports and games are at the heart of the park. Football, frisbee, kite flying, roller skating, walking, cycling, it all goes on here. The Tempelhofer Park is the largest park in the city. At 380 hectares, it leaves other popular parks such as Tiergarten (210 hectares) and Mauerpark (7.1 hectares) far behind in terms of area. Because the huge site is divided into large areas of lawn and old runways, it is ideal for both picnicking and sports use. And what is very important to Berliners; there are also special barbecue areas reserved for 'Bratwurst parties'.
