French town of Bellegarde-sur-Valserine, close to the Swiss border, will held this April a new edition of their U-16 international tournament. Four national teams will fight from 8th to 10th for the title of an event Turkey won last year after ending with a 3-0 record and Tayfun Erulku ('94) earning the MVP award. This year there will be the Czech Republic, Greece, Turkey and France. All four squads will compete this summer in the U-16 Division "A" European Championship, held in Czech Republic, with the hosts having an interesting team with many prospects.
The rosters haven't been released, but in Bellegarde-sur-Valserine we can find names like Turkish James Metecan Birsen ('95) and Kenan Sipahi ('95) and French Damien Inglis ('95) -all repeating from last edition- Czech Martin Peterka ('95) or Turkish Emircan Kosut ('95).
