At the beginning I would like to congrats to Poland team and Krzysztof, who proved that he can know how to win. Druids trophy of fifth edition goes to KRZYSZTOF and POLAND U21 :)

I think that Druid's Cup is very difficult tournament and it is similar to World Cup. I know you will not see a trophy in the history of the national team, but you can share about results on your country forums and mentioned during next election in other countries.

I would like to THANK ALL coaches, who played in Druid's Cup and the users who have observed the tournament. I hope that we will have next edition and again we will have 32 teams who will fight for next tophy of Druid's Cup.

At the end I can't forget about slamtam, who prepared during Druid's Cup the statistics :) THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!

Good luck all coaches during current election and I hope that we will see soon :) I will prepare some questions and share to You on @sk I hope that you will provide me answers, beacuse I would like to know your opinion about the tournament, etc.

Thank you for the very good organization of the Druids Cup Tournament.
I would like to thank all the participants, and especially congratulate the winners in the small Finals.

The Druids Cup, which I won with the young Polish U21 team, I dedicate to all our fans, greetings everyone and thank you for the great fun together :-)

Super turnament thx !

Germanek, Slamtam

I was very honored to participate in this tournament. And I thank you very much. It was very kind of you to post all the matches one by one on the country's forums and via private message.

Congratulations also to the champion Krzysztof and the finalist Sergiolo, who did a great job with Spain.


Azərbaycan U21 coach Mustafa Atik

Thank you Germanek!

And congratulations on winning the silver path. I had no chance.

kesis, Suomi U21

Thank you very much, you achieved also great result :-)

Thank you :-)

Thanks Krzysztof and gruchalus_88:-)

Thank you for organizing and managing the Druid’s Cup! It was a fantastic tournament, and it's clear how much effort went into making it a great competition for everyone involved.

I want to extend my thanks to you and all the coaches who participated, as well as to those who followed the tournament closely. The Druid’s Cup has become a valuable event, and I truly hope we will see another edition with 32 teams fighting for the trophy once again.

As mentioned before, I strongly believe that having this tournament on the U20 level is very beneficial. It serves as the best preparation for the upcoming season, giving young players the chance to gain crucial international experience.

Regarding the format, I found it a bit complicated. Personally, I would have preferred a group stage format, though I understand that this might not have been feasible due to limited matchdays. Perhaps this is something that could be considered for future editions.

Once again, thank you very much for all your hard work!
