The idea of the Social Soccer Cup

•) A football tournament, that takes place twice a year (in Gratwein in summer and in Gratkorn in winter), especially for youth- and social institutions and young people (age 12-18 years), which don’t play in a clubbut have a lot of fun playing football.

•) A football tournament with the social aspect in foreground and absolutely no intention to make any money.

•) 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.

•) A football tournament for girls, too. 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 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!
