More than 30 years of history
With a history going back over 30 years, the Kempen Trophy is a familiar name on the Euro-Sportring programme. The tournament takes place in the popular border region of the Netherlands, which alternates between forest, farmland and friendly villages, but is also home to fanatical footballers, for instance in Kattenbos/Lommel and Neerpelt. In these rural surroundings, an international tournament really grabs the attention of the public. Throw in beautiful sport parks with great facilities and you have the recipe for a brilliant football event.

Туристична інформація
Lommel
Lommel (33,000 inhabitants) is nestled in rural surroundings near the border of the Netherlands and just 20 kilometres from Eindhoven. The city is surrounded by natural and recreational areas which are highly popular among tourists. A social atmosphere and entertainment can be found in the centre, near the impressive Church of Saint-Peter-in-Chains. The city has plenty of restaurants, hotels and shops to choose from. The tournament is held a few kilometres outside of the centre.
Swimming pool - Lago Dommelslag
Need to burn a bit more energy after playing football? Then why not go for a swim at the swimming pool Lago Dommelslag in Overpelt? It’s only 10 kilometres from Hamont. Enjoy hours of fun in the wave pool, rushing down the slide and navigating the white-water course. The latter ride is like being swept down a mighty tropical river. Hold on tight, as you spin and swing around from left to right. A little tired after all that? Then why not go and chill out in the sauna, the hot tub or the steam room? After that, you’ll be all set to go again!
