A cracker in the making
"The party can begin, because we are in.” This is how one of the carnival crackers sounds every year in Sittard-Geleen, Limburg. But Limburgers don’t just run hot for carnival. Local professional club Fortuna Sittard plays at the highest level in the Netherlands in their modern stadium. There are also two more professional clubs active in south Limburg. So an international tournament fits into that picture very well. With great enthusiasm, FC Geleen Zuid & EVV Echt will soon welcome its guests to their beautiful sports complex in June. An exciting international competition with at least six matches awaits the participants. You will have to work hard to take home the 1st Limburg Cup.
