Host Family
Preparations for the Veleka Logistics International Talent Tournament 2024 are in full swing again, after the brilliant 2023 edition with Ajax as the winner. This season, the tournament will be held on June 8 and 9, 2024.
Also in 2024 there will be clubs from all corners of Europe or further. For this we are again looking for host families. Also families who are not members of SO Soest can apply.
What does the tournament entail?
The Veleka Logistics International Talent Tournament is a highly regarded international tournament organized by SO Soest. Our own JO13-1 will also participate and try to impress the almost professional soccer players of the well known clubs. There will be 8 Dutch clubs (think of the top 3 PSV, Feyenoord and Ajax) and 8 foreign clubs participating.
What does it mean to be a host family?
As a host family you take in at least 2 (but may be more) players from another club. The foreign players often stay 2 nights (from Friday to Sunday) and the Dutch players stay 1 night (Saturday to Sunday) at your home. During the day the players are busy with the tournament and under supervision of their own trainer, you pick up the players at the end of the afternoon at SO Soest and take care of dinner, a place to sleep and breakfast. Experience has shown that the players are very neat and polite.
During your stay you build a bond with the players and of course it is fun to encourage them during the tournament. As a host family you receive free entry to the tournament.
The experiences of previous years are very positive. The whole tournament is a very pleasant event with high quality soccer and a good atmosphere. If you have any questions, please let me know. You can mail, app or talk to me at SO Soest.
