The focus: Lübz football tournament inspires 50 teams!

Lübz, Deutschland - The FairPlay Soccer Tour found Triumphal back after an eight -year break at the high school in Lübz. On June 23, 2025, around 50 teams entered the soccer fields in order not only to score goals, but also to celebrate the fair use of each other. With creative team names such as "Lattenknaller Deluxe", "Banker" and "The Cucumber Troupe", the mood was already exuberant and happy at the beginning of the tournament.

The participating teams competed in three age groups, the games were held separately according to gender in exciting duels "three against three" without a goalkeeper on a field of 13 x 15 meters. There was also a special Ü18 class that offered adults the opportunity to also prove their skills.

Fair play in focus

What makes the FairPlay Soccer Tour special is the focus of the fair use of the participants. Markus Gottschalk, the project manager, emphasized the idea of ​​promoting responsibility and open cooperation. This was also supported by the special control system, in which teams themselves could indicate violations of the rule. This resulted in fewer points deductions than usual if the referee did not have to intervene.

A special focus was on the exchange after the games: Here the teams sat down to discuss their dealings with each other and the fairness in the game. This special form of debriefing not only promotes a better understanding of each other, but also the values ​​on which the tournament is based.
