The boys have played together since the beginning of elementary school. Today we are playing junior games at age group of U15 on levels 2-4 organized by Football association of Finland.
2. Tell us what participating in the Dana Cup means for you and your team/s?
Participation in the Dana Cup is the most important event for the boys during the football season 2025. Boys have been doing plenty of work in exercising and volunteering to get themselves into a good condition and to earn money together to cover the tournament costs. During the tournament trip our aim is to grow our boys as athletes, promote diversity and inclusion of each player as part of the team, develop positive team spirit further and offer them a chance to practise social skills in the international atmosphere.
3. What are your goals and expectations at the Dana Cup 2025?
The boys have created simple goals themselves – work hard, play fair and have fun together!
4. Dana Cup supports Football for the Goals - it is a United Nations initiative that provides a platform for the global football community to engage with and advocate for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
