The 5th Antalya Cup International Football Tournament Concludes

The International 5th Antalya Cup football tournament, which had 27 teams from 5 countries participating between April 8th and 11th, came to an end with the cup and medal ceremony held after the final matches.

Organized by DMD Sportif Turizm and By Demir Sports, the International Antalya Cup football tournament, in its fifth edition this year, continues to be the largest tournament regularly held in Turkey. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that affected the world in 2021, the tournament had to take a break, but this year, it resumed with special participants.

The tournament excitement was crowned with 360 goals during the 5th Antalya Cup football tournament. Twelve trophies found their new owners, and all the participating athletes earned the 5th Antalya Cup medals.

The true stars of the tournament, the children who came from different languages and cultures, had smiles on their faces. Throughout the four days of matches, these children had the opportunity to experience the emotions inherent in sports, such as winning and losing. They not only tested what they learned but also understood the importance of teamwork when facing teams of different skill levels.
