An event with tradition
The U15 VARTA tournament has developed into a valuable tradition for SK Rapid since it was first held in 2013 in the former Gerhard Hanappi Stadium. Carsten Jancker and other people in charge of the club have created an event that not only enables international comparison, but also promotes team spirit and the talent of young players. Willi Schuldes, sporting director of the SK Rapid Academy, describes the event as a “beautiful indicator” for youth and appreciates the honor of welcoming well-known clubs from the European football landscape.
The tournament is open to all football fans free of charge and promises not only exciting encounters, but also the opportunity to win unforgettable moments and new friends. International youth tournaments offer an important platform for further development in sport and to gain valuable experience, as can also be read on Young Talents Group.
So be there when the young footballers demonstrate their skills and delight the spectators with exciting matches! Further information about the tournament and the teams can be found on the Rapid website and My district.
