What is the level of competition at the tournaments?

Can we use dispensation players at international tournaments?

Teams can use dispensation players at Euro-Sportring tournaments, provided certain conditions are met.

If a player has been granted dispensation by his/her national or regional football association, this can also be accepted at our tournaments. However, the dispensation must be officially approved by your own association and submitted to the tournament organization in advance.

All dispensation requests must be arranged through your local Euro-Sportring representative and require approval from the tournament committee. If the dispensation is granted, the player must bring the original official document (proof from the association) to the tournament.

Should I inform the association if I participate in a tournament of Euro-Sportring?

Teams taking part in football tournaments must have the permission from their national association and/or league

Can I register individually or do I need to register with a full team?

Registration is only possible with a complete team. Individual registrations are not accepted.

Each team appoints one main contact person who represents the entire team and/or club. This person is responsible for the registration process and all communication with Euro-Sportring.

All tournament-related information, such as quotations, booking confirmations, and practical details, will be sent directly to this contact person.

After registration, each team receives access to a dedicated online environment called My Euro-Sportring. In this platform, teams can manage their participation, arrange all practical matters internally, and maintain a clear overview of bookings and tournament details.

  • At least 2 substitute players, and
