Fourteen teams from Great Britain, France, Turkey, Germany, Slovenia, Italy and Czech Republic battled it out on three indoor pitches, with the trophy being won by VorspielSSL Berlin e.V. Tournament hosts Team Munich Streetboys were runners up.
The trip from Brighton was organised by Elliot Toms who travelled with some of the squad and supporters to Munich by Eurostar visiting Paris for lunch on the way out and staying a night in Brussels on the return journey. The rest of the team flew from Gatwick and everyone stayed at Hotel Regent opposite the main train station for the duration of the trip.
