"Berlin ist toll!"
The tournament for the Berlin Pokal takes place at a genuine hotspot: a beautiful sports venue right next to the legendary Tempelhofer Feld, a former airport that is now a huge park. Today, its runways welcome not aircraft, but hikers, skaters, runners and cyclists. You’ll be playing in a green oasis in the heart of Berlin – the perfect location for an international tournament. Organizers SV Tasmania Berlin, Blau-Weiss Berlin and SV Stern Britz 1889 are ready for your visit!

Touristic information
Berlin
Dynamic, creative, young and tenacious – throw these things into a pot, give it all a stir and you’ve got a heady cocktail which is 'toll' indeed. You'll be travelling to Berlin to play football, perhaps take a look at the landmarks and check out the nightlife. But the greatest reward to take from your trip to Berlin is to soak up the special atmosphere of the city as you wander the streets. The tournament will do the rest.
Tempelhof
This former airport gave up that function in 2008 and has since developed to become a city park. Sports and games are at the heart of the park. Football, frisbee, kite flying, roller skating, walking, cycling, it all goes on here. The Tempelhofer Park is the largest park in the city. At 380 hectares, it leaves other popular parks such as Tiergarten (210 hectares) and Mauerpark (7.1 hectares) far behind in terms of area. Because the huge site is divided into large areas of lawn and old runways, it is ideal for both picnicking and sports use. And what is very important to Berliners; there are also special barbecue areas reserved for 'Bratwurst parties'.
