The winners of Fair Play Trophy

Celebrate the Game is Partille Cup’s fair play project. Our belief is that we all together – players, leaders, parents, referees, supporters, and the organization – can help to create a positive, supportive, and kind environment both on and off the field.

This year, we have three winners of Fair Play Trophy. And they are from three different countries.

In line with Celebrate the Game, we have The Fair Play Trophy. During the week, everyone here at the tournament has been able to nominate a player, a team, a club or a group; anyone who has shown proof of good behavior in true Celebrate the Game spirit.

We have received many nominations and this year’s award recipients have all received various nominations from referees, spectators, friends and volunteers, and the motivations have beautifully described how they have helped both teammates and opponents during the matches, spread a positive atmosphere at the schools and around the fields, and also taken this opportunity to create new friendships from all over the world.

One club, one team and one player received Fair Play Trophy this year. Tryst HC (club) from Scotland, HBC Izegem B18 (team) from Belgium and Minja Savic (player) from the Norwegian team Kolbotn 2 G15 got the prize this year.

Minja Savic was very surprised when she found out.
– I'm really excited and a bit shocked. It's a huge thing. Even though my team didn't win does this feel like a win in itself. Fair play is very good and something everyone should think of. I have so much respect for teams I have met and the referees. Everything is so much fun here, she says.
Why do you think you won the prize?
– Maybe the referees and other teams said something about me. I'm really shocked right now. I would like to say thank you to Partille Cup. This is so much fun, says Minja Savic.
