Conviviality definitely comes a close second

FC Uerdingen is well known to footballing insiders. In the '80s and '90s, the club played in Germany's top tier. They are still ambitious in terms of professional football, but the Uerdingen Pokal has also become a fixture in the diary. The tournament takes place at a beautiful, large sports park on the banks of the Rhine. The grounds are decked out with festive decorations for the occasion and naturally features a BBQ and additional kiosks but also a "beach park" where you can chill out between and after matches. Football takes first place during the Uerdingen Pokal, but conviviality comes a close second.
