A fine tradition
"A brilliantly organised international youth football tournament. Hats off to the organisers!" This response, from one of the participant’s team’s managers, speaks volumes and shows that the people behind the Maastricht Trophy really are on the ball. The fact that the Maastricht Trophy has a strong reputation is not surprising: the tournament has been held in Malberg, a pleasant neighbourhood between the picturesque centre of Maastricht and the Belgian border, for over 30 years. Thanks to the city's convenient location, football fans from many different countries make their way to Maastricht, resulting in an international competition of a high standard. The Maastricht Trophy: highly recommended!
