Thank you, Moldova. A Hat-Trick of Hospitality and Fierce Competition

The final whistle has blown, and another thrilling Socca EuroCup is behind us. As teams head home, one sentiment echoes across the mini-football world: Thank you, Moldova! For three consecutive years – 2023, 2024, and now 2025 – you’ve opened your arms and your heart, delivering a hat-trick of truly spectacular tournaments.

It takes immense dedication to host an event of this magnitude once, let alone three times in a row, each year surpassing the last. Moldova’s unwavering commitment to mini-football is clear. From arrival, teams were met with warmth and hospitality, feeling like honored guests. The facilities were exceptional each year, with meticulously prepared pitches and all necessary infrastructure. The vibrant atmosphere, fueled by passionate local and international fans, transformed these stadiums into cauldrons of excitement, providing the perfect backdrop for the drama on the pitch.

And what about the champions? Each tournament brought its own unique story of triumph. In 2023, Kazakhstan lifted the coveted trophy, showcasing remarkable talent. The following year, in 2024, Kazakhstan again proved their dominance, successfully defending their title in gripping matches and solidifying their powerhouse status. This year, in 2025, Poland etched their name into history with a masterful performance, finally breaking Kazakhstan’s streak and proving their own strength. These champions, along with every participating team, contributed to the unforgettable spectacle Moldova so expertly curated.

Beyond the competition, what truly stood out was the passion. The passion of the Moldovan organizers, the volunteers, and the overwhelming passion of the Moldovan people themselves. This collective energy was palpable, making the Socca EuroCup much more than just football matches; it was a celebration of community, sportsmanship, and shared joy.

As we look to the future, the bar has been set incredibly high. Moldova has not just hosted events; they’ve created experiences, showing the world the true spirit of mini-football.

So, from every player, coach, fan, and member of the Socca family: Thank you, Moldova! Thank you for the memories, the hospitality, and three unforgettable Socca EuroCups. You’ve left an indelible mark on our hearts.
