Impressive Day 3 of Knockout Rounds

FCNE had an impressive Day 3 of knockout rounds at the Gothia Cup. The knockout rounds are unique, as teams often play multiple games in the same day. This was the case for several of our 4 teams that advanced rounds. As the tournament progresses, the stakes feel much bigger, and the pressure higher. Our teams showed resilience and determination, refusing to be phased. By the end of Friday, our remaining four teams had been knocked out, with several games going to penalties.

They provide invaluable information, including food recommendations, sightseeing suggestions, directions, and transportation instructions. FCNE is the only club in the Gothia Cup that offers this unique resource to their teams. Having these guides ensures that everyone experiences the very best of what Gothenburg has to offer.
