The second instalment of the tournament, in 2015, has been organised for six categories with 84 participating teams and 1092 young footballers from Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Serbia and Croatia took part. The teams mentioned above were joined by clubs like GAK Graz and AC Milano Gessate. Besides the sports, the tournament is also known for the fabulous accommodation at the four star holiday village Bi Village, well known and popular within the whole region of Istria. The participants and the accompaniment are housed close to the beach and have a great choice of leisure facilities, as well as a miles-long seaside promenade which takes you directly to the heart of the romantic, historic, seaside town of Fažana and its restaurants. The grass pitches at which the matches take place are also within walking distance.
