Fenix Trophy: Hamburg preview

This week we head to Hamburg in our first ever European competition, the Fenix Trophy. We caught up with staff & players before the trip to get their thoughts on this exciting event.


In group A we will face 3 other teams home & away, the first of which is our hosts on Wednesday evening, HFC Falke - an amazing club built on the idea of playing football for the love of the game, not for riches. We are honored to be visiting them and cannot wait for the Falcons & Raptors match to get underway. In comparison to the hundreds of fans cheering the home side we will have a handful traveling from here and within Germany to support the Raptors - it should be a thrilling spectacle both on and off the pitch for all involved. The game will also be streamed live online so make sure to check out the YouTube channel.
