Have you ever been to Flanders? A visit to Nijlen and the region is definitely worth a try. Nijlen is the beginning of the Flemish pearl - the 'Antwerpse Kempen' region. Besides being beautiful to visit, about 5000 people are guests there during the first weekend of May for the final weekend of a football tournament. A final weekend of Elite teams where you will undoubtedly be greatly surprised by the level. In any case... be welcome to register and taste the Flemish hospitality!
For an entire football season, teams from all over Belgium play the preliminary round of this tournament. They start with competitions within their region and can then progress to provincial qualification and then eventually be allowed to participate in these two days. You can already imagine what this means. They are very high quality matches. Everyone comes to win. You arrive on Friday and will be picked up at the airport if necessary. The tournament is played in a region that can be reached via many airports: Brussels Zaventem (Standard and lowcost) - Eindhoven (Lowcost) - Charleroi (Lowcost) and a few others. Your lodging will be located in the capital of our Flemish part of Belgium - Antwerp. This offers countless possibilities outside of refereeing matches. A hotel will be provided starting from Friday till Monday morning. There will be a possibility to arrive earlier and/ or staying longer, but you'll have to pay for those nights by yourself. The competitions will be very challenging, but there will also be time for relaxation. You are received and treated like a king, but the tournament also requires top referees. Would you like to participate in this fantastic tournament? Do not hesitate and register as soon as possible!
You have to be prepared to lead matches from the absolute top of Elite teams. This means that you are familiar with refereeing in threes. The tournament concerns a final day for Belgian teams, so these will be Dutch-speaking and French-speaking with some exceptions for German-speaking teams. Highly qualified referees are expected from us. You will also have the chance to be coached during the tournament and an evaluation of the performances will be made. We expect a very good knowledge of the English language. Speaking Dutch or French is a very big plus.

Two great tournaments in one. The first part of the tournament is from 07th to 09th, with one day break and the second part from 11th to 15th. Target USA CUP is one of the largest youth soccer tournaments in the world that is held over 10 days in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The event takes place at the National Sports Center which features over 50 soccer fields in one location.
The NSC has been recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the largest soccer complex in the world. The tournament attracts over 1,000 teams from the US and around the world. USA Cup expands far beyond the soccer field by offering many different activities and attractions such as: Mall of America, Valleyfair Amusement Park, MN United soccer game, MN Twins baseball game, Bunker Beach waterpark, and more. It is an unforgettable cultural experience that will bring memories for a lifetime.
At the non-tournament day USA Cup offers a special program for the foreign referees.
Accomodation is offered at the University (NSC Residence Hall") at 38$ per night. The accommodation standard is comparable to a good hostel. A shuttle service to the fields is provided. Accomodation will directly be deducted from the game fees.

Make a new interesting experience by refereeing in the dual-system (2 refs on the field)! Reykjavik international football and fun festival is a nice tournament where famous teams from Iceland, England and other countries meet. It is located in the heart of Reykjavik. We are guests at a very great host, Trottur Reykjavik, a club that plays in the 2nd highest league of Iceland. We always receive a great service and hospitality there. There are several offers around the tournament to make it a fun festival too.
See official tournament booklet here: tournament-booklet 2023
For more information on this tournament read the reports in our tournament archive from previous years. In 2022 international teams are coming back to iceland!
Wednesday = free day
The 1st day of the tournament (Wednesday) is usually reserved for the opening ceremony in the evening. So you may use the time to visit Reykjavik.
If you want to do a guided tour, we can recommend citiwalk.is. The tour is for free, but they deserve a good tip! At lunchtime you may go down to the harbor to a restaurant there. If you like fish, ask for the "catch of the day"! It's a good meal, but cheaper than the usual meals on the card.
If you don't mind the price, you may also take a bus to go to the blue lagoon, to relax there. Because of COVID you have to book your stay online!
Another alternative is to do a daytrip to see some of icelands wonderful nature on the "golden circle tour", e.g. by getyourguide.com or bustravel.is.
On Wednesday evening (after the opening ceremony) we'll have a meeting where I'll explain to you what's going on at the following days and how we handle officiating with 2 referees.
The tournament days
From Thursday to Sunday there will be games, starting at 8 o'clock in the morning ending at about 6 o'clock in the evening. We are going to officiate the games with 2 referees on the field. You'll have a good mix of easier and more challenging games.
Be prepared to be on the field for about 6 games a day, so in total maybe more than 20 games in 4 days. If you're able to do a 10km run on one day and the next on the following day (you don't need a day for recovery) then your stamina has the right base.
At the end of the day we may go to the pool at Laugardaslaug - near the stadium. That's really good for relaxing your muscles after the games. Normally there's also some event in the evening (e.g. meeting with the coaches of the foreign teams at KSI (Icelandic football federation) or a BBQ).
All participants show a fair and friendly attitude, so it is really a pleasure to be referee there.

Top Level Tournament in Prague, the Golden City!
Do you enjoy challenging games in combination with great team spirit and fun?
Top class tournament for teams from central and eastern Europe but also famous international youth teams. This tournament is really on a top level that gives the best chance for your own refereeing development. Not only by the challenging games, but also with other top referees to learn from. There will be 10 games on 5 days being played at 2-3 fields in Prague. The games are full 90 minutes, a referee in the middle + two assistants + 4th official. The high level of the tournament requires only the best referees. We prefer very experienced referees with good physical condition, as the games can be both physically and mentally demanding. Experience working with assistants and as an assistant referee is essential. This is our best tournament for younger referees on the way to the top. There should be a maximum of 2 games a day for each referee (1 game in the middle and 1 game as a 4th official, or two lines). Referees will have a lot of time to explore the beautiful city of Prague.

There are many attractions in Singapore which you can visit (Gardens by the Bay, Chinatown and the many malls and restaurants as well as Habour City where the amusement area is). It is also possible to travel in the area before or after the tournament (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Phuket, Thailand is only a 1 hour flight away and there are ferries to Indonesia and the Philipines are not far away as well).
Our referees are located in a hotel (with breakfast) in the city. Transportation to the tournament area will be provided by the organization. We recommend arrival on November 2nd because of the time differerence and because many flights from Europe are arriving late in Singapore.
We are sure our referees will have a great time in Singapore and will be able to meet fantastic people from all over the world and get the chance to learn what Asian famous hospitality is.
