The German All Stars will once again welcome hundreds of football enthusiasts from around the world to join the annual International Far East Football Tournament. As it is tradition, the event is organized on the Easter weekend (19th/20th April 2014) and therefore known as the Easter Tournament. This year, the tournament also got its own website with updates and all information available at
www.far-east-tournament.com.
The tournament was first organized in 1981 and the two-day event has become a tradition in the international football calendar in Thailand, but is also a reason for many visitors from abroad to visit Bangkok. In total, another record-high of 39 teams and their supporters are expected to travel from literally around the world to participate in the tournament, making it the largest and most renowned international amateur football tournament in the whole South East Asia region.
The tournament includes different game types (11-a-side and 7-a-side) as well as different age categories with a separate competition for players above 35 and 45. Next to teams from Thailand, the German All Stars will welcome friends from Singapore, China, Malaysia, France, England, Switzerland, Vietnam and many more.
Next to some high-quality amateur football, visitors can join free of charge and enjoy a full program of entertainment, live music by the popular Big Boy Band, a Goal in the Hole shooting contest with prizes worth over THB65,000 and -most importantly- German culinary delights. With 2-day catering provided by local German restaurants, visitors can look forward to German specialties and German beer throughout the event.
On both days, games will take place from 09.00 until 17.30 followed by a big award party on Sunday evening. The event will take place at Bangkok Patana School on Sukhumvit Soi 105.
