This Thursday, October 12, the EUROASMUS AND FRIENDS CUP 2023 international football tournament will be held on the grounds of the POSiR Rataje Center (Os. Piastowskie 106A).

Who will triumph in 2024?

8 teams will participate in the tournament: Algeria, China, Canada, Lebanon, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Italy and Poland, composed of 10 international students (studying in Poznań), representing their home country. Teams represent specific countries (at least 4 players must be citizens of that country). Only one team can represent a specific country.

In the last edition of the tournament in 2022, teams from Lebanon, Uzbekistan, Algeria, India, France, Spain, Portugal and Poland participated in the competition . After fierce matches, representatives of Algeria and Poland finally faced each other in the final. After a match lasting 2 x 8 minutes and scored 4 goals, the Polish team was finally able to lift the cup for the best team by winning 4-0. The fight for third place proved even fiercer, with French and Portuguese players facing each other. After regulation time the score was 1-1, which meant a series of penalties. France kept more composure in this match, scoring an additional goal and ultimately winning 1-1 (5-4).

We play together, we support together, we celebrate together!

The EURASMUS AND FRIENDS CUP has been very popular among the foreign academic community for years. The competition, first held in 2012 on the occasion of the European Football Championship held in Poznań, still attracts many enthusiastic participants and shows that the legacy of UEFA Euro 2012 is still alive. The tournament also serves another function: it integrates students from all over the world studying in Poznań and promotes the city worldwide through numerous photo reports on social networking sites.
