HT Announcements

Hattrick announces

Our World Cup XVIII host is...

23.02.2012

Israel will host the XVIII World Cup, and the honour to host U20 XVIII World Cup goes to Finland! Congratulations to the winners! The quality of the bids this time was simply amazing, so no wonder it was a really tight race. Here's the final score: Israel 16p Finland 14p Bulgaria 13p Uruguay 9.5p Switzerland 7.5p A big thanks to all 12 communities who have put forward fantastic bids. You've spoiled us with great work in earlier contests; but this time you really blew our mind. On the World Cup topic we also would like to announce that we have improved the match fixtures for Round I of the World Cup. Thanks to all users in the NT community who have been part of the discussions around this, and a special thanks to Jestar (the manager who suggested the revised schedule).
