WHAT EXACTLY DOES THE GOETHE WORLD CUP FOOTBALL CAMP INCLUDE?

During the practical units in the morning and a workshop offer in the afternoon, the participants learn football-related vocabulary and phrases in German and can apply them in an authentic and relaxed context while interacting with the German coaches and in the team. The Goethe World Cup is a small cross-school competition that includes practical and theoretical tasks and will be part of the football camps at all participating schools. The school that achieves the best results will receive a special prize as a souvenir.

As part of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, the Goethe-Institut is bringing this opportunity to secondary schools in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia! Students have the unique opportunity to practice both their language skills and their Doppelpass as well as to compete with schools in other countries.

For two days in August 2023, a selected school from New Zealand will experience Germany's world-class football training without having to leave its school grounds itself. The training sessions in the morning and theoretical workshops in the afternoon are carried out by a cooperation between the Goethe-Institut and the organisation "Auf Ballhöhe" which holds many years of experience in promoting education through sport in the broader sense as well as the exchange and mutual understanding between young people from different parts of the world contributing to international understanding and the promotion of tolerance.

Auf Ballhöhe

If you would like to bring the Goethe World Cup football camp to your school, we look forward to receiving your school's application video until 31 March 2023.
