On the 10th of June we organized in the
fourth consecutive year our supporters' tournament, first time
with the participation of a foreign team, the Glasgow Rangers
fans.
Last year November we established a really friendly relationship
with the guys, as they had stationed in Zalaegerszeg the night
before they went to Pozsony (Bratislava) to support Rangers against
Artmedia in a 2-2 draw Champions League match. We had party in
Alibi Pub singing Rangers and ZTE songs by turn.
And the night before our tournament the Scottish arrived again
to the place of their last training after a long journey from
Glasgow to Zalaegerszeg to the same pub, Alibi.
Next morning passed very quickly: arranging the "pub"
tent with cold beer and food.
The teams arrived one by one. The supporters of Kaposvar had a
car accident, but at last they managed to show up. 8 teams fought
in two groups for the qualification. In Group A FTC, Kaposvar,
Armada, Rangers and in group B Papa, Torcida, Fighters, Armada
Alibi. We were very disappointed, because Sopron canceled its
participation just two days before the game. The same happened
to Rapid Wien supporters despite their strong will they showed
in January in Stockerau, Austria. Never mind, next time. In the
semi finals Armada Alibi fought against FTC and Torcida against
Rangers. Unfortunately the weather was quite bad, rain, clouds,
some sunshine. It was a pleasure to see that even whole families:
wives and children enjoyed the event. Food was very delicious
made by Landorhegy Armada Arm. Hot tasty deer goulash (pörkölt).
On the fields the matches were fair, the referees didn't have
to tear the games and discipline the players.
At the end Gergely Kocsárdi, captain of ZTE, gave the prizes
to the best player and teams as well (you can see below).
After the matches the event turned into a gorgeous party with
DJ Alex and a karaokee show with talented singers.
Next year we will organize an even better
tournament although this was a really good one. See you next year!
