We are thrilled to announce an exciting change for the U12 Holland Elite Hockey Cup 2025. The tournament, scheduled for April 20th and 21st, will now take place at the state-of-the-art facilities of Oranje-Rood in Eindhoven, one of the top hockey venues in the Netherlands. This move ensures an even better experience for all participants and attendees.
Why the Change?
HC Den Bosch, the originally planned host, will be organizing the prestigious EHL tournament during Easter 2025. To avoid overlapping events and ensure the best possible experience for our U12 teams, we’ve partnered with Oranje-Rood to host this year’s tournament. This venue, located in Eindhoven, offers exceptional facilities and unmatched convenience, with a Van der Valk hotel within walking distance—eliminating the need for transfers between accommodations and the hockey fields.
What Stays the Same?
We are committed to maintaining the high standards and unique features that make the U12 Holland Elite Hockey Cup so special:
- Elite Competition: The tournament will still feature 16 top-tier U12 girls’ teams, competing in an exciting format designed to foster both competition and camaraderie.
- Same Dates, Same Structure: The event will still take place on April 20th and 21st, with 4 groups of 4 teams, quarterfinals, semifinals, and a thrilling final showdown.
- World-Class Organization: While the location has changed, the event will still deliver the same exceptional level of organization and attention to detail that participants have come to expect.
Enhanced Convenience
Moving to Oranje-Rood offers significant advantages:
- Seamless Experience: The Van der Valk hotel, situated right next to the hockey venue, ensures a stress-free and convenient stay for teams and supporters.
- Top-Tier Facilities: Oranje-Rood is renowned for its cutting-edge facilities, guaranteeing a memorable experience for every young athlete.
