Contact Dear contestants, supporters, volunteers and everyone else who is involved and shows his support to the World Police Indoor Soccer Tournament, Welcome Welcome LoJack W From Monday the 7th of October until Friday the 11th of October of the year 2013 we are organising our tournament again. We as the board of WPIST, are very proud to organise the World Police Indoor Soccer Tournament for the 31st time. And, we again succeeded. We will receive 2500 guests from 49 different countries. A couple of months ago Harry and I were in a euphoric state when colleagues from China applied. It felt so special, another new country and so far away from The Netherlands. It is something we as the board, often realise. It is something we can be really proud of. This tournament is famous all over the world and you all love to join our tournament. Welcome to the LoJack World Police Indoor Soccer Tournament. The 31th edition of the world championship indoor soccer for police teams will take place from Monday the 7th of October until Friday the 11th of October 2013 in Eibergen, Groenlo and Lichtenvoorde, the Netherlands.This event is fully supported by the IPA Netherlands. As every year, this year we had to make some changes concerning the organization of the matches. We won’t be playing at the Sourcy Center in Zieuwent, instead we will play in Lichtenvoorde. They build two brand new sports centers. After some meetings with the local business owners and the Mayor of Lichtenvoorde we feel very good about it. Lichtenvoorde is a lively town where our guest will definitely enjoy themselves. A very enthusiastic group of people is waiting for you to make the tournament a great success. The LoJack World Police Indoor Soccer Tournament is the only world championship indoor soccer (futsal) event exclusively for police teams.During this tournament, your team will face some of the most competitive police football teams from more than 50 countries around the world. It is also the largest police soccer tournament in the world organized at the most economical cost for participants. The organisation has worked for 31 years to achieve this unique standard. The World Police Symposium 2013 won’t take place. We are negotiating with our sponsor LoJack to organise a World Police Symposium in the year 2014 in cooperation with the IAATI. The benefit of that will be a much lower application fee. The IAATI foundation is focusing on car theft investigation, prevention and education worldwide. A very interesting theme for the Worl Police Symposium 2014. We have a lot of ideas and plans and we are already very busy to prepare ourselves for the official Police World Championship Indoor Soccer for National teams which we will organise in 2014. De Dutch Police Sports Association and the USIP (World Police Sports Association) has asked us to organise this tournament. A separate tournament will take place in 2014 during the week of our World Police Indoor Soccer Tournament. Nothing will change, but we will be having two different tournaments at the same time. And, the World Championship will have a lot of support and attention of our contestants. During the games of the national teams the stands will be filled with our contestants who can support their own country. We hope to create a great atmosphere during those international matches. We are really looking forward to this challenge. There has been a change in our board during last year. Our board member, Peter van Baardewijk, has left last July. The Mallorca Tournament in 2013 was again a great success. We can say there really is an increase of contestants compared with our tournament in 2012. In 2013 we had 1250 colleagues from 29 different countries. We stayed in Santa Ponca, we had some great hotels, a fantastic sports accommodation and well... the sun, the sea, the beaches and 28 degrees every day. Do I need to say more? I almost forgot... a party every night. You can see the pictures on our website www.mallorca-tournament.com . I hope to see you all from the 7th until the 11th of October in Groenlo, Eibergen or Lichtenvoorde. I hope everyone will have a great week and especially a great tournament. A week where friendship, sportsmanship and collegiality are the most important things. With kind athletic regards, Hans Emde President of the World Police Indoor Soccer Tournament.

Accommodation Location Achterhoek (Region) Hotels: The Achterhoek is a region in the eastern part of the Netherlands, Its name (meaning "rear-corner") is geographically appropriate because the area lies in the Eastern-most part of Gelderland, and therefore of the Netherlands, protruding into Germany. The Achterhoek area lies between the rivers IJssel and Oude IJssel, and the borders with the province of Overijssel and Germany the former region of Zutphen County. The region is predominantly rural, with lots of free space, forests and farms. The area around the town of Winterswijk is regarded as very beautiful. A well-known beer originates from this region: Grolsch beer was first brewed in Groenlo in 1615. Besides the bungalows situated on the Marveld resort, it’s also possible to stay in very good three-star hotels.These hotels are situated near Marveld. Lodging at the hotel 4 days of a self-serve, buffet style breakfast 4 days of a self-serve, buffet style dinner Unlimited entrance to the tropical swimming paradise and other swimming pools A trophy for each team Delegation leader/ team captain’s buffet and drinks during the WPIST opening ceremony Badge and textile promotion strap/cord for every participant Daily parties with live music bands Professional opening and closing ceremony Free entrance to the discotheque and parties Live entertainment during dinner Tourist tax IT’S POSSIBLE TO BOOK EXTRA DAYS AT THESE HOTELS THE WEEK OR WEEKEND BEFORE AND AFTER THE TOURNAMENT. THE PRICES FOR THE EXTRA DAYS INCLUDE BREAKFAST. Language The original language of the Achterhoek is Achterhooks, a variety of Low Saxon. The language can also differ per municipality/town, even in such a way that a person speaking the 'Grols' variant will probably not be understood by a person from Winterswijk which is merely 10km to the east. The number of inhabitants whose sole language is Achterhooks has greatly declined over the last 60 years, inhabitants are raised with the Dutch at school and the dialect is only spoken (sometimes) at home. Partly due to immigration from outside the Achterhoek region and the effects of national government, the Dutch language is having a significant impact on the dialect. Many old words have been forgotten and replaced by their Dutch-derived equivalents Housing Payment Options Guide You will be required to pay for your accommodation upon your arrival at the Marveld resort in October 2013. The organization hope to attach a guide to as many foreign teams as possible, to accompany them during the tournament. The designated guide will generally speak English or German. Some of them might speak the language of your country. Preferred booking system.
