Holstebro Cup
The Holstebro Cup is an annual handball tournament for young people. Since the tournament was first held, it has been the largest of its kind in Denmark.
Tournament days
Since the first tournament, the cup has traditionally been held over the four days of Easter ( Maundy Thursday , Good Friday , Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday ), with only the arrival and opening ceremony taking place on Thursday, which is due to the fact that the teams come from different countries and therefore different vacation days but Easter is days off in all participating countries.
Nations
Teams from different nations usually take part in the Holstebro Cup:
In addition, visiting teams from z. B. Israel or Brazil.
procedure
- Thursday: Arrival, opening ceremony with mayor and other show entertainment in Gråkjær Arena

Venues
Since a total of 300–350 teams play at least 5 games each, it is not possible to move them all into one hall, which is why a total of 21 halls in and around Holstebro are used to host the games.
accommodation
Since around 3000–4000 players, coaches, parents and other handball enthusiasts have to be accommodated, schools in Holstebro and the surrounding area are also used here to provide accommodation for players and coaches. In addition, parents and other spectators can take a room in a hotel or youth hostel.
transport
Each team is responsible for their own journey to Holstebro. A total of 10 buses run between the individual halls on 5 different lines every 20 minutes, between 6 a.m. and around 8 p.m., which can be freely used by the players and coaches.
