First edition
2017

A very special location

A romantic little town with a charming medieval centre bounded by the picturesque River IJssel on one side and the Hoge Veluwe National Park, the Netherlands' biggest forest, on the other: it doesn't get any prettier than this. Throw in a generous dash of hospitality from countless volunteers and you'll understand why the Veluwe Trophy is so highly rated. The tournament takes place at two sports parks. Both complexes are attractions in their own right, with 11 perfect pitches and splendid clubhouses and stands. Two days of intensive football, excellent crowds and, above all, warm hospitality. What are you waiting for?

Sport facilities

The Veluwe Trophy tournament takes place in one of the most beautiful areas of the Netherlands, namely in the forests of the Veluwe - the largest nature reserve in the Netherlands. The sports grounds are therefore very popular and see professional clubs regularly hold training internships at the venue. The sports grounds also feature a main field with a grandstand, two clubhouses with canteens and terraces, and various tournament kiosks

About the organiser

Touristic information

Hattem

Hattem (12,000 inhabitants) is sandwiched between De Veluwe nature reserve and the River IJssel 8 km from Zwolle. In the old town of Hattem, it seems as if time has stood still: winding alleys with centuries-old houses, the market square by the old church and the medieval city gate. Foreign visitors will be charmed by the narrow streets and convivial pavement cafés around the market square.
