11 June – 13 June 2027

BALLFREUNDE Nations Cup Dresden

Situated right on the banks of the Elbe, the sporting city of Dresden provides the perfect backdrop for a top-class international football tournament. The historic old town, centred around the Frauenkirche and the Semperoper, is just a stone’s throw away and, like the banks of the Elbe, is well worth a visit away from the hustle and bustle of the tournament. In Dresden, we’ll be playing at the impressive Ostrapark – a huge sports complex right next to the city centre with top-class artificial and grass pitches. Off the pitch too, the Ostrapark itself, a discovery tour through the Neustadt district and plenty of leisure activities ensure there’s plenty to keep you entertained.

Catering

Various catering options to choose from

Half board is (usually) already included in the tournament package. Breakfast and dinner are therefore provided. During the day, you can buy various food and beverages at the tournament venue at fair prices. So you don't have to worry about food at all.

Care is always taken to ensure that vegetarians, vegans and Muslims have appropriate options so that everyone gets their money's worth. You can inform us of any food intolerances when booking so that we can take these into account.

FAQ

Good to know

Is there a maximum number of players?

You can take as many players as you want. It would be a shame if some had to stay at home for such a tournament.

Arrival & mobility on site

The prices do not include travel. We recommend that you also are mobile at the tournament, as we cannot offer a shuttle service from the accommodation to the tournament. If you don't have a car, we would be happy to make you an offer for traveling by bus or train.

Do we have to take care of food?

We offer almost all accommodations with half board, so you will be well taken care of in the morning and in the evening. So that you are also taken care of at lunchtime, you will find various food trucks on site for a small snack in between.

Can I participate with more than one team or can other teams from my club also take part?

If we still have free places, we would be very happy if you made our special tournament an end-of-season trip for the whole club. You can of course speak to your coaching colleagues and pass this information on to them.

Is there a fixed registration deadline for the individual tournaments?

There is no fixed registration deadline, but we recommend that you start planning as soon as possible, as many tournaments are booked out early. We are also happy to reserve a starting place for you for a desired period.

Does the number of participants have to be determined when registering?

In order to offer you maximum flexibility, you can change your number of participants free of charge 10 weeks before the tournament - the number can therefore be adjusted again without any problems. In order to cover sickness-related absences, however, a private travel insurance is advisable.

Can parents and companions come with us?

Parents or siblings are welcome to come to the tournament with you. The tournament is even more fun with the right fan club. Of course we will also accommodate you all in the same accommodation, as you want to experience the tournament together.
