“Fantastic memories – a really great tournament. So many teams come together, connecting through football. There’s a lot of love and a truly amazing tournament.”

“When I was growing up, I realised that not everyone has the same opportunities. It makes me so happy to have been able to help create opportunities for young people through the Kim Källström Trophy – young people who may not always have the best conditions. And of course, Gothia Cup, which has done an amazing job.””

“My strongest memory with the team was when we went to Gothia Cup. It was so much fun to play in a tournament with international opponents. I had a great time throughout the entire tournament.”

“I am proud to be part of the huge Gothia Cup Family. The tournament is part of my life. It is amazing to see how Gothia has grown and I am so fortunate year after year to get to spend time with the young people whose lives are changed through this incredible experience. I love Gothia Cup!”

“Very fond memories. For us, it was amazing to be able to go there. It was a fantastic experience to play against teams from all over the world. Gothia Cup is a fantastic experience for young players.”

“In the summer of 1998, I experienced my very first international football tournament – Gothia Cup. Among all the major tournaments and prestigious championships I have been fortunate to be a part of – including four World Cups and as many European Championships – Gothia Cup will always hold a special place in my heart. It was there that I first stepped into an unknown yet incredible football world, filled with new countries, languages, personalities, players, and situations. That week, I grew tremendously, and when I left Gothenburg, I knew exactly what I wanted: to referee a World Cup and become one of the best referees in the world.”
