The idea of the Social Soccer Cup
A football tournament, that takes place every year in June in Gratwein, Austria especially for youth- and social
institutions and young people (age 12-18 years), which play AND don’t play in a club but have a lot of fun playing football. A football tournament for young people of different origin. It should be a meaningful leasure time activity without alcohol. A football tournament with the meeting and getting in contact of the participating youth institutions in foreground. Each team must have at least one girl playing! A football tournament with fun on and off the field: Table tennis, table soccer,
creative actionpoints, different soccer competitions and many
more will shorten the breaks. A big tournament-final with VIP-coaches, hymns and pyrotechnical effects will make the SSC an event. A football tournament with long lasting contacts, relationships and exchange
between the participating youth institutions. Together we work against prejudices but for Fair Play of any kind. A football tournament, which is attractive for young people. A low competiter-fee per team ( € 30,-- max), interesting opponents (from all over Austria and foreign countries), a lot of games, short breaks and a unique atmosphere. A football tournament, which attracts different kinds of media. The villages of Gratwein, Judendorf-Str. and Gratkorn and the supporters (sponsors) are able to present themselves in the public. A football tournament, which disproves a lot of prejudices about young people. It shows how peaceful, but nevertheless enthusiastic, more than 300 youngsters participate and compete in a wonderful event!
