Lisbon is always a favourite in our calendar and 2022 did not disappoint

Open Age

Portuguese teams have always performed well in Lisbon winning 4 of the previous 6 events (Ireland & Brazil winning the other 2). There was more success for Portugal this year as CDAL maintained a 100% record throughout the tournament and defeated compatriots RAF2 in the Cup Final.

There was success for France in the Plate with Blue Collar Revolution collecting the title and Hicham Manaa the golden boot with a great return of 12 goals. Riises Pieces from England were runners-up.

Skidmarks, with 3 Cup wins on their eurofootballfives.com CV, were successful in the Trophy as they defeated debutants Moles Salah in the Trophy.

Veterans

In the Veterans section, FC Mahou won their second Veterans title and fourth overall as they defeated FC Dad in the Cup Final. They needed penalties after FC Dad fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2. It was also a 4th top goalscorer award for Michael Brandon - a joint record with Dydynho of France's The A Team.

A penalty shootout was also needed to settle the Plate as Santa Maria and ACE & The Swagmen also drew 2-2 after late goals for each side. It was Santa Maria who emerged victorious on spot kicks.

A big thank you to all 36 teams for what was a superb weekend. See you all soon.
