The experience

The tournament experience in focus

NEXTGEN combines football with accommodation and a modern all-round experience. It is all built around one simple idea – to make the tournament weekend something more than just the time on the pitch.

We want to offer well-organised tournaments with clear levels, good conditions and memorable details.

With Nextgen, teams can expect things like:

  • Group stage and placement matches
  • Walkout before the placement matches
  • Individual awards
  • Accommodation and activities at the tournament site
  • A sociable and professional tournament environment
Our idea

Why Nextgen?

Nextgen was founded with the aim of developing the traditional football tournament.

We want to create events where every detail adds to the experience – from the first registration to the team's last match and journey home.

It should be easy for the coaches, fun for the players and memorable for the whole team.
