This year St. Pauli has sent its Young Rebels to Dana Cup.

 Cult-Club from Hamburg

'Some think of us as Germany's special team. We have founded the club on traditional football values and we do a lot for anti-racism and, recently, we have done a petition to promote anti-homophobia. It is an integrated part and culture of the neighbourhood, St. Pauli,' explains Jonas Louca, who coaches the club's B11 team, which is called Young Rebels.

St. Pauli is the highest-ranking football club representing a neighbourhood and not an entire city. Normally, it is easily recognisable by its pirate flag but not this year.

'The last time we were here we put our flag in the goalkeeper's goal, but we were not allowed to do so, thus this time the flags stay at home,' smiles Jonas Louca, who has led his team to four convincing victories indicating that St. Pauli has many talents.

'The players know that they are part of a professional football club, and that they have the opportunity to become professional, when they play here,' he says.

So far, St. Pauli has won 4 games with a score of 27-1 and, as a result, the team has made it to the quarterfinals in B11.
