Fenix Trophy

A revolutionary international sporting event: the Amateur Champions League in the name of friendship
Website: 
Resort: 
Rimini, Stadio Romeo Neri

Take eight teams coming from 7 different European countries. Set them side by side in a UEFA-approved international tournament with groups and a Final 8. It is not the Champions League but the FENIX Trophy that was born as an idea during the pandemic to unite, connect and share. "Making Friends, not millionaires" is the slogan of presentation, embraced by 8 realities of European amateur football, including two Italian: Brera FC, the Milanese football club that promoted the event, and AS Lodigiani football 1972. For all the matches of the FENIX Trophy, it is expected that the home team will offer an all-round welcome to the opponents. For once, the amateur case is not only a means to get closer to professionalism, but an opportunity to develop projects that are not only related to the results on the field. The current football system sees the 5 main European leagues as a point of arrival. As you move down a level, the clubs are increasingly poor and left to themselves, and due to this, they are willing to do everything to get to the top: money becomes a priority. The participating teams blacklist the word "commodification," and "Making Friends" becomes the watchword with this project.
A mission that is a true manifesto of football disconnected from the big business. The FENIX is an invitation tournament, more for the affinity of feelings, friendship, and values than for conquest on the field. The teams represent 7 European countries: Italy, Spain, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the Czech Republic.
The trophy symbol is a phoenix, the legendary creature that rises and regenerates from its ashes. FENIX is also an acronym that encapsulates the hallmarks of such competition. F stands for Friendly, E for European, N for Non-professional, I for Innovative, and X for Xenial, from the Greek ξενία, which refers both to the concept of foreigner and hospitality.
The Tournament consists of 2 groups of 4 teams. While the group stage is scheduled in May, the Final 8 will take place in Rimini on 10 and 11 June. The first teams will compete with each other, and the second, third and fourth will do the same until drawing up a final ranking. All the clubs will meet in the same headquarter, also supporting several charitable activities in accordance with a stable partnership at the beginning of the season.
