The World’s Centre for Youth Football

Every summer, Gothenburg and its surrounding areas become the world’s meeting place for youth football. This is where the world’s largest international youth football tournament is played, with teams and players coming from all corners of the globe. What makes Gothia Cup unique is its diversity. The tournament brings young people together regardless of religion, skin colour or nationality. Football is the common language, helping to build understanding, friendship and memories that last a lifetime.

A City-Wide Festival in Gothenburg

For one exciting week, Gothenburg is filled with energy, colour and life. Around 35,000 players and almost as many accompanying guests fill the city and nearby towns. Gothia Cup can be seen and felt everywhere – on football pitches, in the streets and in public spaces. Visitors and local residents alike can enjoy a unique mix of football, music and culture from all over the world.
