A Week of Football in the Heart of the Leinebergland
When the floodlights switch on at the VFL Sehlem sports field at the end of July, one of the most intense weeks of the club year begins. The Football Cup Week combines sporting ambition with village festival culture and attracts players, fans, and families from all over the Lamspringe area every summer.
Sporting Tradition at VFL Sehlem
VFL Sehlem is deeply rooted in the club life of the Sehlem district. Throughout the week, amateur, veterans', and youth teams from neighbouring municipalities compete against each other. Matches are played on the home grass pitch, where the tournament unfolds through several preliminary rounds and cup games. The highlight is the grand final and the presentation of the challenge cup.
Festival Tent, Music, and Refreshments
Alongside the sporting programme, a festival tent with long beer benches opens, inviting guests to toast together. Bratwurst, fries, cold beer, and coffee and cake on the weekend – the club members themselves take care of the catering. On selected evenings, DJs or local bands provide the entertainment, turning a sports evening into a real village festival.
Lamspringe and the Sehlem District
The municipality of Lamspringe is located in the south of the Hildesheim district, nestled in a landscape of meadows, forests, and gentle hills on the edge of the Leinebergland. The Sehlem district, with its active club life, is a prime example of how intact village communities shape an entire region. Those who combine a visit to the tournament with a walk through the old monastery village of Lamspringe or a trip to the nearby foothills of the Harz Mountains will discover one of Lower Saxony's quiet yet scenically attractive corners.
