Over Easter 2025, Croatia became the meeting place for a very special soccer highlight: the international KOMM MIT “Girls Only” tournament — the girls' football festival! More than 40 teams from Croatia, Germany, Slovenia and Austria have shown that girls' soccer is alive — and it inspires!

The soccer players celebrated the “Spirit of Football” with heart, passion and strong team spirit. It wasn't just about goals and victories, but about a sense of community that crosses borders — about joy and the special feeling of being part of something bigger.

For many smaller teams, the matches with the selection of the Burgenland Football Association, the juniors from Bayer 04 Leverkusen and TSG Hoffenheim were particular highlights. Including for TSV Rott, winner of our UEFA EURO 2024 competition in cooperation with the Bavarian Football Association (BFV). These games became unforgettable moments full of passion and solidarity.

The goosebumps moment at the opening ceremony
The historic amphitheatre in Pula — with its impressive backdrop of ancient stones and the warm light of the spring sun — was the perfect stage for a magical start to this special tournament. Right there, in the midst of this unique atmosphere, the girls danced and celebrated together — free from club boundaries and competition. With bright eyes, smiling faces and pure zest for life, they made this moment very special. An expression of genuine team spirit and solidarity that has not only moved deeply, but also reflects the core of the festival. This moment full of ease and community will never be forgotten.

Every goal, every duel, every smile on the pitch confirms our vision at KOMM MIT: We give young players space to develop freely, become self-confident and find their place in sport. Girls' soccer is much more than just a game — friendships are made here for life, your personality can develop, and you can feel what real team spirit is.

Strong together — for more girls' soccer!
The Girls Football Festival shows once again that girls' soccer grows best when we support it from the grassroots level. This is exactly where KOMM MIT comes in with our international youth meetings. Let's make girls' soccer visible together, give young players a stage and make them strong — for their sporting and personal future.
