Future football stars, top class
football and up to 15,000 spectators – the Spax Cup organized
by TuS Ennepetal is more than just a big football stage.
When the U19 players from the top clubs from around the world play at
Ennepetal there is an atmosphere in the stadium that is normally only
experienced in the big Bundesliga stadiums. And its exactly this atmosphere
that makes the Ennepetal tournament different to all other European U19
tournaments…
Lajos Detari, Juergen Klinsmann, Dennis
Bergkamp, Andrei Schevtschenko and David
Beckham – all highly talented football players who have
dominated European football in the last decades, both with their clubs
and their national teams, have played in the Whitsun tournament at Ennepetal.
When Guenter Kierstan, the former head of the Ennepetal youth department,
restarted an international U19 football tournament in Ennepetal, he continued
the successful international tournaments from the years 1965 – 1968
and created a tournament that attracts scouts and clubs from around the
world....
