Home from home in Schijndel
The Duke's Trophy was first organised in 1984 in the Brabant town of Schijndel, and has since become a big deal by staying small. A cosy tournament in a cosy village, so to speak. Year in, year out, guests are welcomed with open arms and the volunteers from SV Avanti'31 give this annual event their absolute all. The match location of the Duke's Trophy is a wonderful sports location with 5 pitches, a large club house and an incredible swimming pool nearby for a celebratory victory dive.

Información turística
Schijndel
The town of Schijndel is located in North Brabant in the shadow of 's-Hertogenbosch. Once a year, this quiet spot in the countryside becomes altogether louder thanks to Paaspop music festival and the thousands of visitors it receives. And for those who want even more culture, a trip to 's-Hertogenbosch is definitely worth it. After all, it is just another 10 kilometres down the road.
Den Bosch
In 's-Hertogenbosch, also known as Den Bosch, there is an incredible array of things to do and experience. For real culture vultures there are museums, boat trips and town tours. Shop-a-holics can really let loose in the various shopping streets, and there are also many cosy restaurants and bars. Don't forget to try the local speciality, the Bossche bol, a large cream profiterole in a chocolate shell.
