TOURNAMENT NEWS

First edition Den Bosch International Tournament will take place in May 2023

Finally, its going to happen at last. The 2022 edition, unfortunately, had to be canceled as a result of ongoing COVID lockdowns globally. But now, apparently, we have found a way to deal with Covid which makes organizing a tournament exciting again. So we couldn’t be more happier! The DBIT is a multisports youth tournament. Football (bu14), Field Hockey (b/g U16), Basketball (bu18), and Rugby (U16). It’s a unique event in a unique city. The dates of the tournament are 27,28 and 29th of May in 2023. Its not a recreational tournament, it is an invitational tournament with top-level academy teams. The home playing teams in the different sports are FC Den Bosch (football), Heroes Den Bosch (basketball), The Dukes (rugby), and HC Den Bosch (field hockey).
