The Sunnylaw Jag Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) I received this invitation via email this morning and if I was younger, fitter and had the wife's permission maybe I'd take part but if anyone else wants to take part feel free to contact Slavik. Dear Sir, My name is Slavik, I am from Lviv, Ukraine. In June 2015 our NGO Karpaty ( www.gokarpaty.org ) will be holding the traditional international fans’ tournament EUROFAN in Lviv (Ukraine) for the 9th consecutive year. You can find many photos and videos from previous events on Facebook: http:/www.facebook.com/EUROFAN.tournament The dates: 25-28 June 2015. On 25 June teams arrive in Lviv and check in hotels, also press conference will be held on that day; the football tournament lasts three days, from 26 June till 28 June 2015. Our tournament is rather a non-competitive one. Professional or semi-professional players are not allowed. The official motto of the EUROFAN is: Football, Friends, Fun - enjoy EuroFan! Tournament rules: 11-a-side teams, 32 teams will be divided into 8 qualifying groups with top two teams from each group progressing to the playoff stage; matches played in qualifying groups will have duration of 40 minutes (2 halves, 20 minutes each), matches played in 1/8 and 1/4 of playoffs will have duration of 50 minutes (2 halves, 25 minutes each), matches played in semifinals and final will have duration of 60 minutes (2 halves, 30 minutes each). Number of substitutes is not limited. Before every game we play national or clubs’ anthems, during games we arrange live comments and music (speakers are placed around the ground, DJ and commentators work with microphones). Also we ask each participating team to send us in advance an entry fee in the amount of USD 205 (or EUR 150) as a guarantee of participation. Regarding accommodation: Depending on a hotel, its class, location and conditions, we offer discounts on stay for all members of your delegation (the number of persons is not limited). Normally cost of one night per one person in a good hotel is about 40-50 EUR. So you pay about 20 EUR from one person per night. During the tournament all invited teams will be accompanied by volunteers speaking in respective languages. They will meet teams in Lviv, help in finding hotels, checking-in and be helpful in different situations. During the tournament there will be an opening party and after the tournament we organize a finishing party with prizes and mementos for all tournament guests. The final list of participants will include 32 National and club fans’ teams from all over Europe. We would like to invite fans' team of Partick Thistle F.C. to take part in the “EUROFAN-2015” fan-festival/tournament. Could you please help somehow in this matter? Best regards, Slavik <script type="text/javascript"> /* */ </script> Edited November 13, 2014 by The Sunnylaw Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I think I would avoid Ukraine at the moment! Ukraine is a big country, Lviv is fine. Not going would be like avoiding Edinburgh during the Northern Irish troubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
