Due to the high demand for participation in the INTERNATIONAL HELVETIA CUP from Switzerland and abroad, the organisers have decided to hold a qualifying tournament for Swiss teams. This will be held one year before the main tournament and the winner will receive a free entry. All U17 teams from all Super League clubs as well as other renowned clubs from Switzerland will be invited to the qualifying tournament. There is room for 8 teams, first come - first serve.

The qualifying tournament is organised and run by the "INTERNATIONAL HELVETIA CUP" association in cooperation with the FOOTBALL IS MORE foundation.
