The biggest international youth football tournament in the Baltic states – “Ateitis CUP” this fall will receive guests from Georgia. FC “Dila” has approved their participation.

“We are happy with every teams participation in our tournament, Georgia is no exception. This year we have established the first contact and we immediately found a common language. I am almost sure that this cooperation will not be a one-time”, said the main tournament organizer, Dainius Gudaitis.

To this day we have 9 teams registered  in fifteen-years old group. There will be as well, teams from Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Russia and Lithuania.

This is certainly not the final number of teams. There is a good majority of teams who had agreed to participate, but haven’t put the signatures yet ”

The tournament of 2001 age group will be held in the capital of Lithuania on November 11- 13.

The last weekend of “Ateitis CUP 2015. Autumn” had four age groups and 54 teams competing between themselves and enjoying the fun of football. This was the final and the busiest weekend of the “Ateitis CUP”. More than 3000 young football players took part in this tournament and they came from over 10 different countries.
“I am happy that the tournament was successful. The aim of this year was to bring Juventus and to have some teams from Scandinavia. Those two goals were successfully accomplished. We are now already preparing for the next year – we are talking to a very well know team from England” – said the main organizer of the “Ateitis CUP” tournament Dainius Gudaitis after a hard work of seven consequent weeks.

The final weekend was dedicated for six-year-olds, seven-year-olds, eight-year-olds and nine-year-olds.
The winners of U6 are FC “Minsk”, of U7 “Zenit” from Saint Petersburg, of U8 “Tukums” from Latvia, and of U9 SDJUSSHOR from Kaliningrad.

There was an incredible final played between the eleven-year-olds of “Juventus” Torino and “Atalanta” Bergamo during the biggest international youth football tournament “Ateitis CUP” in the Baltics. Only after the penalties shoot out did the “Juventus” team win.

The third place was won by “Dynamo” Minsk, who played successfully against “Brommapojkarna” from Sweden winning with a result 2:1.

“It was the most interesting and the most difficult from the organisational point of view tournament of “Ateitis CUP”. There were teams from 10 different countries including “Juventus” and “Atalanta”, therefore the task to manage everything was not easy” – said the main organizer of the tournament Dainius Gudaitis.

“Juventus” brought the second team to “Ateitis CUP”. The previous team of twelve year olds also won the tournament.

“We are very happy to have had aa chance to come here. We are happy with a high level of the venues, the food, the organisation. We are coming back in a year!” – enthusiastically said the coach of “Juventus” Massimiliano Marchio.

The best achievement for Lithuanian teams was the sixth place won by “Tauras” from Kaunas. The eight place was won by Vilnius Football School, and the fifteenth by Mažeikiai Football Academy. This weekend (11 26 – 11 29) will be dedicated for ten-year-olds. “Juventus” once again will be against the twenty teams coming to Vilnius from seven different countries.
