As mayor and resident of Bassevelde, I am proud that this tournament has been taking place in our municipality for twenty-five years. Every year, world cities fight to organize the final of the Champions League. Thanks to this tournament, we have had a Champions League final in our backyard for twenty years. The tournament is a permanent fixture on the international youth football calendar. It is no coincidence that many players at the World Cup and European Championship once played in Bassevelde. Vincent Kompany, former captain of our Red Devils, played his first major final here. From Bassevelde to Maracana, it is a small step. That makes me proud. What makes me even more proud is the sense of togetherness and enthusiasm that this tournament has awakened in our municipality for twenty years. This tournament stands and falls with the efforts of thousands of volunteers. Together with the organization they deserve the one and only U13Cup trophy for me. Thank you for twenty-five years of top football under our church tower.
