Old Boys European Railways Tournoi - English

The 19th Old Boys European Railways Tournament will be taking place at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre, one of the UK’s leading sporting facilities used by the likes of FC Barcelona, Manchester United and the England FA and Rugby Association.

Bisham Abbey is also situated near the world-renowned city of Windsor and its many tourist attractions (http://www.windsor.gov.uk/).

Group Draw

Football Competition
The 11-a-side football tournament will be taking place on Friday 20 May (afternoon) and Saturday 21 May (all day) at Bisham Abbey.

Eight teams representing Belgium, England, France, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain and Switzerland will be vying for the trophy in a round-robin competition which will consist of two groups of four teams, semi-finals, followed by play-offs and the final.

Each match will be played over 40 minutes (2x20 minutes) and will feature a referee and two assistant referees.

Hotel
Accommodation will be provided at the 4-star Copthorne Hotel in Slough near Windsor.

Travelling
If flying, we recommend Heathrow (40 minutes by bus) or Gatwick (1 hour by train) as Windsor is west of London (www.millenniumhotels.co.uk/copthornesloughwindsor/attractions/index.html) whilst Stansted is on the other side of London and takes a long time.
