Get ready for the Rhein-Ruhr Pokal 2026, a brand-new international youth football tournament that will take place in Moers, Germany, during Whitsun weekend, 23–24 May 2026.
This exciting event replaces the well-known Uerdingen Cup and welcomes 80 teams from across Europe. Young talents will gather to play, compete, and experience football at its best in one of Europe’s largest and most vibrant metropolitan regions — the Rhein-Ruhr area.
Most teams will stay in Düsseldorf, a city famous for its culture, shopping, and nightlife, while matches will be hosted at the modern sports parks of GSV Moers and TV Asberg 1897 e.V. Together, they set the perfect stage for two unforgettable days of competition and camaraderie.
For coaches and team managers, this tournament offers the perfect balance between high-level competition and international experience.
Teams can test their skills against strong European opponents while enjoying a friendly and well-organized atmosphere.
Beyond the pitch, the tournament promotes respect, teamwork, and cultural exchange — culminating in the UEFA Respect Ceremony, where every participant receives a medal on the podium.
