The European professional edition again will be held next year!

By the enormous impact of this international well known player and the excellent organization the tournament has become one of the biggest tournaments of the Netherlands in the youngest pupils categories: mini F, F-pupils and E-pupils. This year 50 clubs participated in the Robin van Persie tournament and over 150 matches were played.
