| Welcome to Eken Cup
For the 25th time we have the pleasure of inviting
handball players to Stockholm and Eken Cup.
As always, Eken Cup invites boys and girls of all
ages to play. This year an emphasis is put on recruiting teams from our neighboring Nordic
countries. The Mini-Cup from 1999 remains and is also this year played in separate age
classes on smaller courts in the special "Mini Park". Since Eken Cup 2000 is our
25th anniversary the days at the Gubbängs field will offer a few surprises and hopefully
the same lovely weather as last year.
Welcome to Stockholm’s great
handball party.
Everything in one place
Eken Cup is played on the Gubbängs
field south of Stockholm. There are around 30 courts in one location. In the middle
bleachers surround the "Center-court" for the audience for the finals. All games
are played on a grass surface that is of finest quality and survives most
weather-conditions. The time of year most of the time gives us warm and clear weather.
It takes no more than five minutes
to walk through the whole tournament grounds. No busses are needed. Clubs with many teams
can easily watch each other’s games. To cheer for your friend in the other club-teams
really unites the club.
Accommodations
Eken Cup primarily uses the schools in
the vicinity for accommodations. Mealtimes are served in Gubbängs-skolan, which is right
next to the field.Our goal is that all accommodations should be within walking distance of
the Gubbängs field.
Meals
Intensive days in fresh air demands
that the players eats plenty and nutritious meals to keep their strength. Eken Cup has
professionals in the kitchen that knows the necessity of cooking tasty meals of high
quality for large amounts of people.
The Center Court
The Center Court, which is
surrounded by bleachers, is used for the most see worthy games as well as for most of the
finales.
The Celebrity Game
One of the most appreciated events
is the Celebrity game staring Celebrities from different arenas such as television and
sports.
