Veterans

In the Veterans section, we had 20 teams from England, France, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Scotland, Spain and Wales all assembled to battle it out for the title of 2023 Mallorca Fives champions.

Defending champions and 2017 winners FC Mahou were pre-tournament favourites but they met their match at the Cup Quarter-Finals when Duktil Balear drew 3-3 with them and knocked them out on penalties. Wins over FC Miracle (Hun) in the Semi-Final and FC Poloboc (Mda) in the Final saw the local team celebrate glory.

In the Plate tournament there was glory for Polonia Limerick who also won the 2022 Barcelona Fives Plate. They defeated ACE & The Swagmen in the Plate Final who were also runners-up at the 2022 Lisbon Veterans Tournament.

Open Age

In the Open Age section all eyes were on Ecuador 100% who were aiming to become the first team to win three consecutive titles at the same event. They suffered an early setback losing 1-0 to Polonia Limerick in their opening game but then went on a winning run to the Cup Final where they met Polonia Limerick again and gained their revenge.

In the Plate section it was France versus Spain in the Final as World Pinteur overcame their penalty shoot-out hoodoo to win both their SF and Final on spot kicks. They defeated Urbansport who were runners-up for the second year running having lost to Bayern Badonde at the same stage 12 months ago.

A big thank you to all 30 teams for what was a superb weekend. See you all soon.
