AFC Bournemouth Ability Counts head to Germany

A selection of AFC Bournemouth Ability Counts players from the senior and development age groups are travelling to Holland and Germany to take part in the annual BK Weckhoven inclusion football tournament this weekend.

To kick off their weekend the Cherries players will be visiting PSV Eindhoven for a stadium tour, before training at Fortuna Dusseldof to make their final tournament preparations.

The Cherries representatives, make up one under-16 team and two senior teams, will play in the pan-disability tournament against teams including SV Werder Bremen and FC Basel.

Head of community Steve Cuss said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for our Ability Counts players to compete in an international tournament where they will meet new people, experience a different culture and play football."
