Mallorca kicked off our 2023 season with 30 teams assembled across the Open Age and Veterans sections. History was made as Ecuador 100% became the first team in our 17 year history to win 3 consecutive editions of the same tournament. They added the 2023 crown to the titles they won in 2019 and 2022.

In the Cup Final they defeated Polonia Limerick of Poland (4-0) despite losing 1-0 to the Polish guys in the group phase.

In the Plate section it was France versus Spain as World Pinteur took on Urbansport.Following a 1-1 draw it was the French team who emerged victorious on penalties.

Our summer Veterans Tournament marked its 10th season in 2023 as we returned to Mallorca by popular demand.

Defending champions were FC Mahou who claimed the title in Lisbon last year and were looking for their third Veterans title and fifth title in total with us. It was a particularly strong line-up with teams from England, France, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Scotland, Spain, Wales and a CIS team. We had four different nationalties in the Semi-Finals and after the final shake-up it was Spain's Duktil Balear who claimed the trophy with a 2-0 win over FC Poloboc in the final.

In the Plate Final there was Polish success for Polonia Limerick. They defeated ACE & The Swagmen in the Plate Final. A second runners-up finish in as many years for the English team.

Teams from Brazil, England, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal and Switzerland assembled to do battle for the honour of holding aloft the 2023 Lisbon Tournament trophy.

After 8 games each, Pangere of Brazil and Lindfield of England played out a 1-1 draw in the Cup Final. The title would be decided by a penalty shoot-out and it was the Brazilians who won it to reclaim the title they also won in 2017. It was a second runners-up spot in a row for Lindfield FC who collected silver medals in Mallorca last year. Third time lucky next year?

In the Plate competition it was Dolce & Lallana who claimed victory (2-1) against Bugiels Athletic including Thomas Forster's 9th goal of the tournament that saw him win the top goalscorer award to add to the golden boot he won in Amsterdam last year.

The Amsterdam Fives celebrated it's 15th year in 2023 and we were back in the Dutch capital for our double-header with the Amsterdam Sevens.

Teams from England, France, the Netherlands and Sweden were in attendance to stake their claim for the famous golden trophy.

France's Foot130 and Shab-Tilburg of the Netherlands were the stand-out teams in the group phase winning Groups A and B. Shab-Tilburg fell to their compatriots The Zlatan Show on pens in the Semi-Final but Foot130 were sensational defeating another French team, Les Collegues, 6-3 in the Semis before despatching The Zlatan Show 5-2 in the Cup Final.

W London made a slow start with 2 draws and 2 defeats before blitzing the final stages to win the Plate. A 3-2 win in their final group game saw them qualify for the Plate. They then defeated Ball Sports Reds 7-2 and Sweden's BK Manskomplex 7-1 in the Plate Final.

The Amsterdam Sevens debuted in 2022 with great success and 2023 continued that with another sell-out event. Last year's winners, Humble Goats, were back to defend their title and they did so expertly.

They won Group B with a 100% record, 10 goals scored and 0 conceded. They met the Amsterdam Fives winners, Foot 130, in the Semi-Finals and won a close contest 2-1. Denmark's Uden Filter were up next in the Cup Final and the teams played out a tense 0-0 thriller. Humble Goats won last year's title on penalties and they did so again winning the shoot-out 2-1.

In the Plate competition there was English success as Dynamo Leila defeated FNF on Tour 3-2 in the final.

We look forward to 2024 and can Humble Goats complete a hat-trick of victories?

On the 15th July 2017 eurofootballfives.com took a break from tradition and added our first sixes tournament to the calendar. 2023 was the fifth edition of the tournament and so far we'd had winners from the Netherlands, Belarus and England (twice).

This year we had England, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Wales competing. Since our inception in 2006 we had never had a Cup winner from Wales but we were so close in Amsterdam this year. The Shepherd's Arms went unbeaten through the group phase with 3 wins and 2 draws before a statement win against 2-times Amsterdam Sevens winners' Humble Goats. The win set-up a Cup Final against Dutch side Summerhouse. There was nothing to split the teams in normal time as the match ended 0-0. Penalties would decide the victors and sadly for The Shepherd's Arms it was Summerhouse who had nerves of steel to win 2-0.

The eurofootballfives.com tour rolled into Krakow with teams from England, Finland, Poland and Portugal competing for the title. The Polish contingent also saw teams travel down from Warsaw to participate.

They were top scorers and had the best goal difference on the day but were run close by Turn Down For Watford in the Cup Final as the match finished 2-2 in normal time. It went to penalties and Colonel Getafe completed the job, 2-1.

In the Plate competition there was success for Big Time Krakow (who had 2 previous Cup wins to their name). They had lost 2-1 to Mngball FC in the group phase but got their revenge with a 2-0 Plate Final victory.

Back to back wins for Norfolk N Chance in Barcelona! On a glorious summer's day we had 52 games of football to enjoy and when the referee blew the final whistle in the Cup Final it was Norfolk N Chance who emerged victorious. A game that swung from end to end saw Norfolk N Chance come from behind to take glory against Sharks. Sharks were runners-up here in 2021 and had to settle for second place medals again in 2023.

In the Plate competition it was Mitre FC A who emerged victorious. It was a fantastic debut for them as they defeated John Arne Riise's Pieces. Mitre FC defeated their opponents 3-0 in the group phase and repeated the dose in the final to fully deserve their crown.

For the individual honours, Joe Sames won the top scorer prize just as he did 12 months ago.

With teams representing China, England, Hungary, Moldova and Poland assembled in Barcelona we had 4 nations in with a chance of success when we reached the Cup Semi-Finals. The final saw Moldova versus Poland as FC Poloboc met AFC Blue Boys in what was a repeat of the 2023 Mallorca Veterans Cup Semi-Final. Moldova won that battle 2-1 and they won this battle 3-0 to take home the golden trophy and winners' medals.

In the Plate competition it was JK Silvertown who emerged victorious as they defeated Lucanos Locos 1-0 in the final that meant it was Poland who finished runners-up in both the Cup and the Plate. JK Silvertown had previously played in three of our Amsterdam events with the switch to Barcelona in 2023 proving hugely successful.

For the individual honours, Chris Wright won the top scorer prize with 11 goals. It was his second golden boot after winning the same prize at the 2018 Amsterdam Fives.
