My name is Slavik, I am from Lviv, Ukraine.

In June 2014 our NGO Karpaty will be holding the traditional international fans’ tournament EUROFAN in Lviv (Ukraine) for the 8th consecutive year. You can find many photos and videos from previous events on Facebook. And there is an official video about Eurofan-2013 on Youtube

The dates: 5-8 June 2014.

On 5 June teams arrive in Lviv and check in hotels, also press conference will be held on that day; the football tournament lasts three days, from 6 June till 8 June 2014.
Our tournament is rather a non-competitive one.
Professional or semi-professional players are not allowed.
The official motto of the EUROFAN is: Football, Friends, Fun - enjoy EuroFan!

Tournament rules: 11-a-side teams
32 teams will be divided into 8 qualifying groups with top two teams from each group progressing to the playoff stage
matches played in qualifying groups will have duration of 40 minutes (2 halves, 20 minutes each)
matches played in 1/8 and 1/4 of playoffs will have duration of 50 minutes (2 halves, 25 minutes each)
matches played in semifinals and final will have duration of 60 minutes (2 halves, 30 minutes each)
Number of substitutes is not limited
Before every game we play national or clubs’ anthems, during games we arrange live comments and music (speakers are placed around the ground, DJ and commentators work with microphones)
Also we ask each participating team to send us in advance an entry fee in the amount of USD 200 (or EUR 150) as a guarantee of participation.

Regarding accommodation:
Depending on a hotel, its class, location and conditions, we offer up to 50% of discount on stay for all members of your delegation (the number of persons is not limited)
Normally cost of one night per one person in a good hotel is about 40-60 EUR
So you pay about 20 EUR from one person per night.

During the tournament all invited teams will be accompanied by volunteers speaking in respective languages
They will meet teams in Lviv, help in finding hotels, checking-in and be helpful in different situations
During the tournament there will be an opening party and after the tournament we organize a finishing party with prizes and mementos for all tournament guests

The final list of participants will include 32 National and club fans’ teams from all over Europe.

We would like to invite a fans' team from Arsenal F.C. to take part in the “EUROFAN-2014” fan-festival/tournament.

Best regards,
Slavik

    S.G.R.B, it would be great. As Gooners used to be, in fact, as they are on the road still today. Though to some extent a complicated individual, with more facets to my personality than I can count, I am, in true Jekyll and Hyde style, a lover of simplicity. Life's beauty is usually only damaged by the involvement of people. Now there I go, a romantic and a pragmatist in the same sentence. I have been accused of being both recently, and of course I have both to my nature. A forlorn wish for everything to be ideal for everyone, and the creeping realisation, that in truth it never will be for any. Wow! I'm becoming BADARSE FREUD! Yes, a footballing trip away with a big group from this website, playing, chilling, and exchanging experiences of Arsenal related stories. Of course I would be a roommate with Mandy Dodd, she likes some of my posts, and you and JAMIE, as soul mates, would crash together, (crash being the operative verb). One concession to you two, you could have bunk beds, though am sure JAMIE would argue about who goes up top!

    With you Badarse, wouldn't it be brilliant. Sounds a good laugh. Sadly those days are over.
