	The 2013 Berlin Fives marked a hugely triumphant return to Germany for eurofootballfives.com. The 2012 tournament was our fastest selling ever and was an unbelievable weelend. We wondered if it could ever be matched - it could! 2013 saw a lot of fun, a lot of laughs and some sensational football. With teams from the Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Ireland and Romania all competing we had a plethora of talent on show. We arguably had our strongest ever Cup Final as 2009 Barca Fives winners Luminy Wolves (France) encountered 2012 Budapest Fives winners ABC United (Romania). The Romanians were just too good on the day and swept to a great victory. The crowds watched, admired and cheered the sublime skills of our winners. in the Plate competition Saipan FC (Ireland) reached a third final and it was third time unlucky as they lost 2-1 to debutants Team Geek (England). It was No Janesy No (England) who picked up the Wooden Spoon playoff to end their tournament on a crescendo of two successive wins. We say thank you and farewell to the 2013 Berlin Fives and look forward with relish to the 2014 extravaganza! For all the 2013 tournament action click here.

	The 8th edition of the Krakow Trophy was another great tournament in a history of great events in the Polish party capital. With 18 teams signed up for the battle it was our largest tournament in Krakow ever. At the end of the day it was Budapest Celtic Lions who enjoyed a narrow 2-1 victory over The A Team of France. It was Budapest Celtic's first victory in 5 tournaments following two Runners-Up finishes. Although there was disappointment for The A Team there was personal glory for Dydynho who claimed the Top Goalscorer award with a return of 14 goals in 8 games. For the Plate competition it was local team Awiw who took the honours. It didn't look likely when they trailed Saga Louts 3-0 in the early stages but they fought back to 3-3 to take the game to penalties which they duly won 2-1. Thank you to all teams who made it on the day - both those who travelled to Poland and also the local football community who continue to support this fine festival of football. Thank you.
