Tunisia

Soon it is time, the starting time gets closer every day, which is amazing! But there are some obstacles along the way, or is there?

Malmö Arena will be hosting one of the biggest events in the Nordic countries of all time. In this post I figured I'd look closer at some of the teams that will take part in tournament.
