All the way from Sydney

Taking part in the Gothia Cup is so much more than just playing football.

For Sydney University SFC from Australia, the week in Gothenburg has turned into an adventure filled with new encounters, exciting matches, and memories for life.

Each day starts at the hotel where the team stays together with others from around the world. In the hallways, you hear new languages, and the evenings are filled with laughter, games, and new friendships. But it’s on the pitch where the magic happens – where players from different cultures meet, not just to win, but to share the passion for football.
- It’s a great way to bring people together, says Olivia Shaw who plays in the team.

Off the pitch, the team has had the chance to explore the charm of Gothenburg – from riding the bus to trying out Swedish candy.

Gothia Cup isn’t just the world’s largest youth tournament. It’s a meeting place where football unites young people across borders – and where teams like Sydney University SFC get to experience both a world-class tournament and a city that offers something truly unique.
