The Dana Cup is played
on a Complex with 20+ beautifully-groomed grass fields
and another 25 outlying fields just as good. The tournament
headquarters is the clubhouse of the best ladies club
in Europe, FORTUNA. Adjoining the fields are the meal
halls (the Vendia Hall and two large tents) and the
carnival and disco sites. The town is about twenty minutes
walk and there is even a McDonalds in the town which
is not far from the Stadium.
ALL Teams booked through STI will be accommodated
at the inner schools. Out of about 25,000 people,
only about 3,000 are accommodated in these boy's and
girl's schools. ALL OTHER TEAMS will have about a
05 - 30 minute shuttle bus each way. It is a significant
advantage to be housed at the inner schools for this
reason. You can easily walk back to your school if
you want to rest and you don't need to carry everything
around with you the whole day! The girl's schools
are located near the stadium while the boy's schools
are next to the departure street for the shuttle busses
to the outlying fields. Either way, you are next to
the Dana Cup site!
Games are also played at the outlying fields with
free motorcoach shuttle service to these schools.
These motorcoaches depart in front of the Handelskolen
about every fifteen minutes, the school where most
of our boys teams are accommodated. Adults are normally
accommodated in the two-bedded rooms (with private
toilet and shower) at the Technical School, about
100 yards from the Handelskolen, but there are also
hotels available in the town and at the beach.
The DANA CUP is a mini-Olympic village with players
from around the world competing and getting to know
each other. There is an excitement that cannot be
described with so many nationalities so close together
for so long. The national and club songs and chants
at the games or in the eating halls, the accents and
diverse peoples of the world make it all special because
it all happens at one big site. YOU REALLY FEEL PART
OF THE EXCITEMENT because it happens around you, WITH
you and BECAUSE of YOU! |
