FC St. Pauli confronts Junior Oster in an anticipated tournament match
Football Tournament in Town: Excitement Builds Ahead of Easter Weekend
The football community is buzzing with anticipation as the highly-anticipated U19 tournament approaches. The games, set to take place over Easter weekend, promise a thrilling lineup, with some exciting matchups on the schedule.
Tournament director, Martin Meyer, is particularly looking forward to the rematch between Borussia Mönchengladbach and a Japanese selection on Thursday at 7 PM, and the U19 team of Fortuna against FC St. Pauli at 8:15 PM. The tournament will consist of two groups: Group 1 includes the Japanese selection, Mönchengladbach, Sporting Braga, Werder Bremen, and Eintracht Frankfurt, while Group 2 consists of FC Everton, Dinamo Zagreb, RSC Anderlecht, St. Pauli, and Fortuna.
For those eager to secure their seats, tickets can be ordered and printed at home through the tournament's website (www.u19-cup.com). The organizers aim to make the games accessible to as many football fans, especially families, and have priced tickets affordably, especially for season tickets. Many more individual and season tickets are expected to be ordered in the week before Easter, as people make their plans. Some, however, are choosing to wait and see what the weather will be like before ordering tickets, as the forecast for Easter is currently looking good.
In addition to the main events, a varied fringe program and diverse catering options will be available on match days. Food options will include classic bratwurst, fresh beer, crepes, grilled noodles, desserts, and cake. On Easter Sunday, there is an extra special surprise in store for all young and old football fans, but details are yet to be revealed.
The tournament winner will be determined by these two groups, with the final taking place on Easter Monday at 4 PM. The organizers, who usually collaborate with the church community's leadership or designated organizers such as the church council or specific event committees, supported by volunteers, are working hard to ensure a memorable experience for all.
With the start of ticket sales, Martin Meyer is pleased to report that they have already sold 240 season tickets in the first few days. With the tournament just around the corner, the excitement is palpable, and football fans can hardly wait for the action to begin. So, get your tickets, gather your friends and family, and get ready for an unforgettable weekend of football!
