Welcome

It is our pleasure and privilege to welcome national teams and players from England, USA & Denmark to attend The Super Master Football Cup in Denmark, Copenhagen, Skovdiget 1, 2880 Bagsværd.

We are setting up a Super Master Football Cup tournament involving England, NC United, USA, AB and B93, Copenhagen, HG Zealand and Roskilde in entering O75 and O80 teams.
