Dana Cup Mini 9-11 May 2024 - Under construction
WELCOME
Welcome to the Dana Cup Mini – an international youth football tournament for boys and girls.
Dana Cup Mini is, as it sounds, a miniature edition of our larger Dana Cup tournament, held in the end of July each summer.
We use the same facilities and the same administration, so the tournament will run at the same high level but just over a shorter period of time.
TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE 2023

TOURNAMENT
The tournament will be played on grass and artificial fields in the Dana Cup Center Area – all within walking distance.

The first games will start on Thursday the 18th of May 2023 at 13.30 and the last games will start on Saturday the 20th of May 2023 at 17.15.
