Sobre el organizador

KFC Hamont '99 and K. Achel VV are the joint organisers of this international competition. As the name implies, KFC Hamont '99 was founded in 1999. The letters KFC stand for Koninklijke Fusie-Club (Royal Fusion Club). K. Achel VV (Royal Achel Soccer Association) has been around since 1909, although the club went by the name of Klein Maar Dapper (Small but Courageous) at the time. In collaboration with the municipality of Hamont-Achel, they manage to turn this into a successful tournament year after year!

The municipality is well known for the Saint Benedictus-Abbey where Achel trappist beer is brewed. The pride of Hamont-Achel, however, is Marc Emmers.

After that, you’ll be all set to go again!
