History

This football tournament has been founded by Serge Brunner and Tassilo von Schönberg in 2006. In the first year the event was organized with the help of the offenes mehr – Team. That’s why it was called offenes mehr Football Cup. The tournament was able to profit from the cult-character of the journal of the same name “offenes mehr –Zeitschrift für Horizonterweiterung” (follow the link www.offenesmehr.ch ).

In the second year, the name and the character of the tournament changed into “The perfect Mix”; henthforth, only mixed teams (at least two girls on the field) were allowed to register. That transformed the character of the event into a great get together event for the members of all universities of Fribourg. Tassilo and Serge also asked Bertil and Aline to join the team and professionalized the organization. Tassilo became responsible for the Marketing; Serge was responsible for Finance, Bertil for the Operations at day of the event and Aline for Sponsoring. The team decided to found a new organization, the Fribourg Football Festival, where the four were elected executives. As a result 53 teams with more than 450 players participated in the 2007’s edition. The team “Istdorglir” were the great winners.

In 2008 the organization committee of the journal “offenes mehr” donated “The offenes mehr Memorial Cup” as a challenge cup. From now on, the cup will be given to new winner every year and the name of the winning team will be engraved. If one team wins the Cup three times they can keep the “offenes mehr Memorial Cup”.
