The first phase of Team Search for Prodigy Mestareiden Cup 2023 has started and continues until 19.3. There are limited number of spots for top junior teams in each category.
Every match will be played in top facilities in Kupittaa Ball Sports Hall. The official tournament Hotel Sokos Hotel Kupittaa and the tournament restaurant Restaurant Mauno Trivium are located within 400 meters of each other so moving around is easy and fast.
There has been many good foreign teams during Mestareiden Cup’s 17 year history. Now that the Covid-19 pandemic is behind us, we once again put our team search focus also outside Finland. We have already secured three Czech top junior teams as Sparta Prague participates in U19, U17 and U14 age categories.
