Sensational Street Soccer was nominated/honored Best Grassroots Project by UEFA.
For the last eight years, we have done street and music festival football/soccer tournaments. Thousands of women have played over the years. We have worked closely together with companies like Cover, Metroxpress, ELLE, Hummel, Roskilde Music Festival, Cola Light, and Ga-jol. We want to reach the urban woman, who will go play even if she has never touched a ball before.
Our Next Tournament: Sensational Football at ROSKILDE FESTIVAL 2012 together with the Roskilde Festival, hummel and Cover Magazine at July 2nd to July 4th 2012.. Stay updated here on SensationalFootball.com and on Facebook.. Signup for the tournament right here..
We would love to go global with this tournament. Let us know if you would like to help. Maybe together we can convince FIFA that this could be a new way of doing an international tournament our way.

Comments about Sensational Street Soccer
“There is no doubt that it’s beneficial for the City of Copenhagen to support Sensational Street Soccer. It’s brilliant city branding. As a city, we want to be known for hosting such events. Sensational Street Soccer is fun, creates friendships and networks and inspires us to be active and creative. I also worked with the people behind this sensational event in regards to the Climate Summit for Mayors, that I hosted last December and they have a strong flair in making people feel, that they are connected and doing something that matters”
Former Lord Mayor of Copenhagen Ritt Bjerregaard
