Then there is Real Neeroeteren-Maaseik a Belgian 1st Division club, followed by TuS Koblenz, FSV Frankfurt and Karlsruher SC three German 2nd Bundesliga outfits and the Swiss 2nd Divison club
FC Schaffhausen.
The list of professional clubs sending their youth teams are rounded up by VfL Osnabrück and Eintracht Trier who both play in the 3rd German Bundesliga.

Viktoria Backnang certainly is doing a phantastic job to bring so many high class teams from so many different countries to their event on June 12 2010.
We have promised ourselves to be a worthy part of it and to represent US youth soccer and particularly the Atlanta soccer community in the best way possible.
