Two Teams Welcomed by the Mayor
With almost 30,000 participants – players, coaches and parents – Dana Cup is the biggest sporting event in Hjørring. The football tournament is an important element in putting the town of Hjørring on the map and, therefore, each year two teams are chosen, who, on behalf of all the participants at Dana Cup, take place in the official welcome by the mayor of Hjørring.
This year the special honour was given to One World Academy from Ghana, who play in class B 14 and KIPS from Finland participating in class G 14.
At the reception in the town council hall mayor Arne Boelt spoke briefly about Hjørring municipality and then the municipality handed each player and manager a small present and refreshments.
Representatives from the two clubs thanked the mayor for the welcome and were pleased with the good facilities at Dana Cup and in Hjørring.
