International football in a picturesque setting
International youth football tournament in Ketsch/Mannheim, Germany: Rhein-Neckar Pokal
Participating countries: 
Belgium France Germany Italy Netherlands Switzerland

Are you on the hunt for an international competition in a picturesque setting? Why not try the Rhein-Neckar Pokal? The inaugural tournament in 2019, featuring teams from six countries, was a first-time hit, and included complimentary comments about the good organisation and warm hospitality. The organisers have beautiful sport grounds at their disposal, complete with a traditional 'Stube' (pub) and a tournament centre with festive decorations. And those wanting to take a look outside the sports grounds, can taste the atmosphere of times past with castles and half-timbered houses in the immediate vicinity. The charming historic university city of Heidelberg is a fifteen-minute drive away. Unbeatable!
