Fill in the form, send it off, done: football clubs can now apply to organise the final day of the SWG Cup very easily and with little effort.
For football clubs in and around Giessen, the matches in the SWG Cup are among the highlights of every season. The upcoming main round starts on 13 September 2016, and the two best teams will meet for the grand final on 5 June 2017. It has not yet been decided where the final will take place. "Interested sports clubs can apply to host the event," explains district football manager Henry Mohr. Over the past few years, the final match day has established itself as a spectator magnet. More than 1,000 football fans from all over the region now cheer from the sidelines. "It's always nice to see that the effort is worthwhile and that the competition has developed into such a success story," emphasises Stephanie Orlik, who is responsible for organising the district cup on behalf of Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG).
It's no wonder that sports clubs are happy to take on the role of host for the final day. Until now, interested parties could only submit a detailed written application via the district football manager. In future, a short application will suffice, which can be downloaded as a PDF file from the SWG website and the Giessen football district website and sent in by e-mail or post. "We ask for some basic information on the form and of course want to know why a club wants to organise the final. Two or three sentences of motivation are enough," explains Henry Mohr.
Clubs can still apply to host the final on 5 June 2017 until 31 October 2016. The form can be found online at www.stadtwerke-giessen.de/swg-pokal and at giessen.hfv-online.de.
