DANA CUP MINI 2024

9 - 11 MAY · HJØRRING · DENMARK

International Youth Soccer Tournament

WELCOME

Welcome to the Dana Cup Mini – an international youth football tournament for boys and girls.

Dana Cup Mini is, as it sounds, a miniature edition of our larger Dana Cup tournament, held in the end of July each summer.

We use the same facilities and the same administration, so the tournament will run at the same high level but just over a shorter period of time.

TOURNAMENT

The tournament will be played on grass and artificial fields in the Dana Cup Center Area – all within walking distance.

The aim is for each team to play 4-6 games during the tournament.

The first games will start on Thursday the 9th of May 2024 at 08.30 and the last games will start on Saturday the 11th of May 2024 at 17.15.

FIRST ROUNDS – THURSDAY AND FRIDAY

The teams are divided into groups of 4-5 teams. All-play-all tournament. The top two teams in each group advance to the A-finals, which are played according to the cup system, with the losing teams being eliminated.

The other teams in the group continue in the B-finals, which are also played according to the cup system.

SECOND ROUNDS – SATURDAY (1-3 GAMES)

Tied matches are decided by penalty kicks.

The penalty kick competitions are conducted according to FIFA’s rules with the following exceptions. Since there is free substitution, the players who have been substituted at the end of the match can - possibly must - take part in the penalty shootout. The teams are made equal in size.

In 8:8 matches, however, only 4 kicks for each team and in 5:5 matches 2 kicks for each team.

It is possible to arrange training matches for the teams that leave the tournament after the quarter-finals.
