Switzerland's Arosa will play host to the 13th IceSnowFootball tournament which will see soccer stars from all over the world competing for the World Cup title.
Taking place on the 15th and 16th January next week, teams from Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands and an international all-star team will compete in what's billed as the unofficial Snow Soccer World Cup.
"The event brings together former national players and football legends to celebrate team spirit, action, and the tradition of snow football," an Arosa spokesperson said, adding, "Where else do you see soccer stars from around the world battling for the World Cup title on snow and ice?"
The competition was conceived back in 2009 by the former director of Arosa Tourism Pascal Jenny, who convinced the then sports director of VfB Stuttgart, Fredi Bobic, of his idea.
Since its initial implementation in 2010, the Arosa IceSnowFootball quickly developed into an annual friends' get-together for the world of football. The unofficial snow football world championships celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2020, then missed two years due to Covid-19 before resuming in 2023.
