It’s no exaggeration to say that the Gothia Cup is the most appreciated and well known youth soccer tournament
in the world. Certainly even the most popular. Throughout the years 800,000 youths from over 127 different countries have
par ticipated in the Gothia Cup. More than 1,500 teams partake yearly. Obviously these are staggering numbers, but perhaps
we are proud of something more that cannot be expressed in numbers. The fact that we are able to retain and develop the basic
principle of the Gothia Cup; the idea that through soccer as a common denominator, we gather the youth of the world to create
a meeting ground. A ground that gives hope for a better future. Welcome all!
We believe that it is important to make a tournament a lifelong memory. A moment for everyone - a moment of harmony and
kinship. We want to create this very moment with the Gothia Opening Ceremony. Previous participants have compared it to an
Olympic ceremony and that’s the idea. The atmosphere surrounding the opening of the Gothia Cup is electric, enough to
make you shiver with excitement. It’s a memory you’ll remember and smile at for the rest of your life.
