Pupils and teachers, beware! Are you ready for a challenge? Every year, Club Brugge organises a school football tournament for third-grade primary and special education pupils in Bruges. During this annual school football tournament, fair play, girls' football and saying no to racism and bullying are central themes.

But that's not all, as there are also great prizes to be won, such as the Fairplay Cup and the Supporters Cup. Do you recognise yourself or your school in this and have you always wanted to play football on the practice fields of the Jan Breydel Stadium and compete for the  Club Brugge Schools Cup? Then this is your chance!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Are you ready to take part in this fantastic tournament? Read the rules below, register and play for the Club Brugge Schools Cup, the Fairplay Cup and the Supporters Cup.

• There is room for 32 school teams from Bruges and surrounding municipalities.

• Each team consists of a maximum of 10 third-grade students.

• To promote girls' football, each core of 10 players must consist of at least two girls, one of whom is always on the pitch.

• Matches are played on 1/4 of a football pitch with goals 5 metres wide and 2 metres high.

• Each match lasts 12 minutes and the first pool matches start at 13h30.

• The top 2 teams advance to a knockout stage and at 5pm we will know the winner of the Club Brugge Schools Cup.

But that's not all, because together we are showing the red card to racism! Club Brugge supports the international campaign 'Show Racism the Red Card' and wants to raise awareness around diversity and social cohesion and combat physical and verbal violence linked to racism. We therefore consider it very important that schools wishing to participate in the Club Brugge Schools Cup are 100% behind this campaign.

Show that your school has the biggest, most enthusiastic and original legion of supporters and enjoy the fringe entertainment around the playing fields.

The Club Brugge Schools Cup 2023 is already over. If you are interested in taking part in the next edition, you can register on the waiting list below.
