All matches are played within the same sports complex, making the tournament particularly convenient for teams, coaches and supporters.
The impressive facilities around Dronninglund-Hallerne include:
- 2 indoor sports halls
- 9 artificial turf pitches
- 10 natural grass pitches
With 21 playing courts and pitches concentrated in one location, the Dronninglund Cup offers a unique handball atmosphere where thousands of sporting moments, new friendships and shared experiences come together.
Much More Than Handball
The Dronninglund Cup is not just about winning matches and lifting trophies. It is about creating memories that last long after the final whistle.
Throughout the tournament, participants can enjoy a wide range of daily activities, with opportunities to relax, socialize and explore the local area.
Teams and accompanying persons are accommodated in local schools, while free shuttle buses connect the accommodation facilities with the tournament venue. Participants also have access to a free swimming pool.
For those looking for an additional adventure, there is the opportunity to visit Fårup Sommerland, one of Denmark’s largest amusement parks, at a special discounted price.
