2011 Tournament

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in putting together a fantastic tournament. We really appreciate all the time and effort everyone put in behind the scenes which sometimes goes unnoticed. Our team thoroughly enjoyed playing and meeting new teams and also teams from other countries. It was a fabulous experience for ourselves and we would hope to have the opportunity to do it again next year."
Kirkby Stags Boys, UK

"I just wanted to send our sincere thanks for allowing us to take part in your wonderful tournament. The parents and players had an amazing time and we thank you all very much. The opportunity for these children to compete in the beautiful game there, where you can feel football in the ground and the air was second to none. Our team have been left with fond memories and a cherished experience to follow us through our goals and in life. Allowing us all to make friends with the people of other countries and the ability to keep them as friends will last for years. I personally hope that life allows us the opportunity to cross paths again, it would be a great honour for me and the team if that should happen."

2010 Tournament

"I would just like to say a big thank you for another well run and organised tournament yet again, it is only my second tournament I have attended myself and have enjoyed every day this week from the managers meeting at Anfield all the way through to our 3rd/4th place play off in the U14 girls yesterday afternoon. Thanks once again for a wonderful week and hope our club attends again next year as our players look forward to this event each year."
Kinmel Bay U14 Girls, Wales

"Firstly let me congratulate yourself and all involved in a fantastic well run soccer festival in Liverpool/knowsley this event was our clubs first and will not be our last. Myself and everybody at kirkby woodpecker where so impressed at how well run this tournament was and after years of competing in tournaments all over the country as a club we can honestly say that the Liverpool/knowsley tournament is the best we have participated in. It started right from the beginning: The web site is so informative and registering your team on it was so easy. The venues outstanding facilities/pitches. Volunteers/staff so friendly and helpful. Referees very high standard, we saw young referees coming through which was nice to see and a good balance of more experienced referees to assist the younger refs. Presentation outstanding. Photography first class. This tournament reminded me so much of the Dallas cup competition in America and I feel that this is not only a credit to yourself and all involved past and present but a credit to Liverpool, knowsley and England. Once again we thank you for letting our club participate in this tournament and congratulate yourself and all on a job very well done."

Thank you very much for a most enjoyable tournament, hopefully see you all next year with more teams coming from us!"
Peter Henry, East Kilbride U12 & U16 Girls, Scotland, UK

"Just wanted to say a very big thank you from myself and all the boys. We had a fantastic trip and all the kids were quite upset that we had to leave and were already asking when we are coming back. Parents are already discussing the next trip. Thanks to all your team, we really felt at home in Liverpool and our boys were made to feel we were the reason the tournament was hosted. The boys will never forget this trip."
Themi Kartapanis, Randburg United U11 Boys, South Africa

2007 Tournament

"Competition and friendship are two words that you will almost never find together when describing a soccer tournament. Yet, you were able to deliver just that... Very hard to find tournaments that deliver what they promise. Everything promised was delivered and much, much more.....Our aim was to provide a learning and growing experience for the boys", and thats exactly what happened...."
