  tournament and at the same time many other soccer
  activities and social events.
• Soccer facilities located within easy walking
  distance of accommodations.
• This is a true Festival, organised to enable
  young people from all parts of the world to meet
  not only on the field of play but during the many
  social, cultural and fun events which are held
  during the week of the Festival.
• The Festival organises free return transport from
  your entry airport.
• The format has been an outstanding success with
  many teams choosing to sightsee during the day,
  and participate in our festival in late
  afternoon/early evening games each day.
