How about a ball game? Physical activity, nature and smiling, friendly people around, wishing you good luck and cheering you up - wonderful! You will run from gate to gate, stop to catch your breath, and see fabulous rocks, magical icebergs, and incredibly beautiful fjords! That`s football surrounded by whales and icebergs.

At the end of the Coastal Cup, sadness and disappointment have no place in Tasiilaq. Of course, people come there to win, but participation and emotions are much more important.

You can take part in this unusual event in the summer. Every year, during the height of the short Greenlandic summer, tens and hundreds of residents of the Eastern part of the island come to Tasiilaq to participate in the two-week Coastal Cup. The World Cup was canceled this year, so you can come to Greenland to watch football.

The football pitch is slightly different from the usual one. The fact is that the pitch with a lawn is only in Nuuk. In Tasiilaq it is a great trodden gravel area with two iron parts of the door instead of the sides. And the viewers re sitting around on the stony ground. Teams need the support of their fans!

But in fact, there are even rules. The winner gets the right to participate in the National Championship. Besides, players can brag to their relatives and neighbors that they have won the football championship.

It is probably the most colorful sporting event in the world. Teams do not have a specific uniform, and there are no age restrictions.

This is a grand event for this region, full of joy, incredible emotions, and excitement! Crowds of people gather on the surrounding rocks with chants and posters in support of their favorite team. The "free stands" are literally filled with fans. The atmosphere there is so flamed up and filled with excitement that you even forget about the cold, wind, and icebergs.
