Amsterdam Cup Football Tournament 2009

2009 marks the 11th annual Amsterdam Cup and this year around 200 teams from 10 different countries (especially Holland and the United Kingdom) will participate. The tournament is open to all teams that are members of their F.I.F.A. affiliated national associations.

The Amsterdam Cup is held at 2 or 3 different sports facilities in Amsterdam on both grass and artificial soccer fields. It is only an 8 minute drive from most of these sports facilities to the centre of Amsterdam.

All football matches are played on both Saturday May 24th and Sunday May 25th. Participation in the Amsterdam Cup can easily be combined with a visit to the Amsterdam Arena Ajax Stadium, a canal cruise or a visit to Dam Square. Come to Amsterdam and enjoy this great competition! Contact Us today!
