The city of Zagreb once again proved why it’s a hub for youth futsal development, as another successful edition of the futsal Zagreb Five tournament wrapped up in early 2025. Organized by Futsal Dinamo, this international event brought together young players from across the region to compete in the U15 and U13 categories, delivering excitement, sportsmanship, and unforgettable memories on the court.
This year, the tournament took a meaningful step forward—not just in quality of play, but in how it was covered and shared with the public. For the first time, Zagreb Five was featured on Sofascore, powered by the intuitive Sofascore Editor platform. This integration allowed futsal fans, coaches, parents, and players to follow results, team standings, and individual performances in real time—directly in the Sofascore app.
“We’ve always focused on building a tournament that’s well-organized and player-centered. With Sofascore Editor, we’ve added another layer of professionalism. Now everyone—whether they’re at the match or not—can follow the action as it happens,” said tournament organizers from Futsal Dinamo
A Stage for the Next Generation
With dozens of teams from across Croatia and neighboring countries, the tournament offered high-quality matches filled with emotion, technique, and fast-paced futsal action. Split between the U13 and U15 age groups, every match was competitive, and the atmosphere in the school gyms was electric—cheered on by families, coaches, and teammates.
But what set the 2025 edition apart was the live digital coverage enabled by Sofascore Editor. Each result was updated in real time, along with match events like goals, cards, and final standings. The intuitive interface allowed tournament staff to enter data directly from the venues, making information available to fans, scouts, and supporters across the region.
For many players, it was the first time seeing their name, goal, or match result appear on a platform as widely respected as Sofascore—an unforgettable experience and a powerful motivation.
Technology Meets Grassroots Football
Sofascore Editor continues to bridge the gap between grassroots sports and professional-level coverage. By offering youth tournaments the tools to manage and publish accurate match data, the platform helps modernize event operations while giving players, parents, and fans a digital home for their memories.
For organizers, it means easier matchday management and greater visibility. For players, it means recognition and the chance to be part of something bigger. For fans, it means access to live updates, wherever they are.
In Zagreb Five 2025, this translated to smooth scheduling, transparent competition brackets, and a digital trail of every goal scored—something that young athletes can look back on as part of their sporting journey.
