Saale Cup - Mini-EM Jena
How the Mini-EC works
1) You register for the tournament. About 8 weeks before the tournament we will ask you for your 3 preferred nations.
2) If possible, we will then allocate the participating European Championship nations to the teams according to their wishes. If there are several teams with the same wishes, then the draw will decide.
3) Dress up and dress down according to your assigned European Championship nation so that we can celebrate a colourful football festival!
Tournament venue, sports facility &
skill&fun area
Fun & action off the pitch
There will be plenty of diversion off the pitch. Test your skills at our BALLFREUNDE play stations!
While on the pitch you will have to perform as a team, we will also test your individual skills at our BALLFREUNDE game stations. How hard is your shot? How good is your aim?
The goal-scoring speed machine, football darts, the goal wall, bubble football and more are waiting for you.
Tournament venue & sports facility
10 pitches & great leisure opportunities
3 days of pure football fever! While the professionals are playing for the UEFA European Championship title in Germany's stadiums, more than 130 teams from different nations are competing for the coveted title of the Mini European Championship in Jena in the shadow of the Jena Kalkberge. Perfect conditions await you directly on the Saale. 10 pitches, 8 of which are excellently maintained natural grass pitches and 2 modern artificial turf pitches offer optimal playing conditions for an absolute highlight and your season finale in 2024!

In a nutshell:
- substantial breakfast buffet
- always 3 dinners to choose from
- water included with meals
- always a vegetarian/vegan alternative

Request more information now & reserve a non-binding starting spot
We will reserve a starting place for you for 3 weeks without obligation, so that you can discuss everything with the players and parents in peace. You can request information about the respective tournament via various channels. Give us a call, send us an email or simply write to us via WhatsApp. Alternatively, we can present the tournament to you and your fellow coaches in a video presentation.
Good to know
All the important details about your
unforgettable tournament experience
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.
