Oha – what a guest

1991 + 1993 at the Referee Cup: Björn Kuipers (Netherlands)

Thanks to Corona, you also have time to look at old player lists from past referee cups. In 1991, the Noord-Oost Twente Referee Association from the Netherlands brought an 18-year-old young referee with him, who later became one of the best referees in the world: Björn Kuipers from Oldenzaal reached the final with his team and was defeated by the Referee Association from the Soviet Union with then current FIFA and 1st division referees in a really high class final with 1:4.
In 1993 the multiple World Cup, Euro, CL, EL referee was again a guest in Lüneburg with the team from the Dutch border region.

Appointment to the talent squad

Kilian Sieper

After the merger of the three districts of Lueneburg, Uelzen and Luechow-Dannenberg, the local Referee Committee decided to install a talent squad with around ten young colleagues between the ages of 15 and 20 to promote young talents. The squad is headed by none other than former FIFA Referee Assistant Carsten Kadach from Suderburg. A talent from SV Eintracht was also nominated: 15-year-old Kilian Sieper made it into the squad with good performances. We congratulate!

Workshop as kick-off for 2021

Lots of discussion, smoking heads, satisfied and determined faces at the end: under the direction of the consultant Claudia Reinpold (Reinpold Berufsarchitekturen – www.berufsarchitekturen.de -) the organization team of the Referee Cup 2021 spent a whole Saturday in February in Hamburg and worked out that concept for the 15th tournament in June 2021 – and if possible for the following events in the coming years.
We look forward to 2021 – and to our guests!

Eintracht referees make it to the quarterfinals

Before the quarterfinals, a photo with the friends of the Referee Association Duisburg-North

After a break of many years, the SVE referees again took part in an external referee tournament on October 5th: at the “October week indoor tournament” of the FLVW district Hoexter in Warburg, the Hasenburg referees were able to advance to the quarterfinals. After two last-minute victories (1:0 each) against the hosts and a team from Berlin and a 2:2 draw against the future finalist, the Referee Association Paderborn, the team met in the quarter-finals Duisburg-North. The Team from Northrhine-Westfalia, 3 times as old as the Lueneburg team, cleverly exploited every little mistake and won 4:1.
So the Eintracht referees were able to prepare a little earlier for the evening event in the big tent during the October week in Warburg, where the award ceremony was held in front of 1.000 visitors.
After a lot of mineral water and little sleep, the SVE referees returned home the next morning to do their volunteering on the sports fields around Lueneburg in the afternoon.
The following team led by goalkeeper Frank Schlicht and bus driver Oliver Vogt: Tim Arend, Thore Bandow, Sebastian Deike, Jan-Erik Ramm, Kilian Sieper, Lukas Stegen and Lukas Wandrey.
Warburg next year? Sure, of course!
