Early news on the forthcoming tournament in the Algarve.

Expect fixtures to be at the end of Jan/early Feb. Venues across the area.

Confirmed attendees are at just the six, a few less than previous competitions. Still time for an addition or two, I feel....

Brentford B {UK},

Brøndby IF {Denmark},

IFK Göteborg {Sweden},

Rosenborg BK {Norway}.

FC Torpedo Kutaisi {Georgia}

IFK Värnamo {Sweden}.

Some regulars there, but I think the first time a team from Georgia has appeared.

I wonder who funds this event. There's no money to be made admission is either free or a token €5 or so.

Yes, both the Georgians and Varnamo are first-timers. Brentfords second stringers have entered once before.

I've been attending this tournament regularly since its inception, Tom ....... never been asked to pay an entrance fee yet. Have tried to get info on how it is funded, without luck.

The main man has always been Brian Horne, who played as goalkeeper in the Football League back in the day.

Quinta do Lago almost certainly behind closed doors. Eyes and ears are open, but there is far less of the 'winter break' type activity nowadays.

Hello guys.

No more teams here for the winter break?

Atlantic cup still announces just 6 teams..

Many of the bigger European leagues are not having a winter break as they once did. Those that do will probably be going to Saudi Arabia and the far East at the behest of their sponsors and owners. It is unlikely the Atlantic Cup will get any more teams with the first matches in three weeks time.

Thanks for the answer.

The new format of the uefa competitions made the winter break difficult.

Lets hope this isnt the end of the atlantic cup
