The field in the men’s tournament is of regal stature. To start with the defending champions of 2021, Ahmed Tijan and Cherif Younousse. They are one of the top teams in the world, bronze medal winners of Tokyo 2020. In the whole of 2022 they never finished outside of the top-9 in any tournament. Winning an Elite-16 event, a challenge-event and the Asian championships. It all started with the Crown Series Finals of 2021 in January, they’re here to start the season once again on a high.

Estonian Kusti Nõlvak is ready to win another King of the Court medal, he chases the gold with Dmitri Korotkov. King of the Court royalty Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen will be hoping for another spot on the podium and 2021 Hamburg King Bartosz Losiak has his sights set on a new crown as well.

Women

Lots of Queens and princesses on court in Doha from January 11th on. Isabel Schneider won last year in Qatar alongside Sandra Ittlinger, this year she’ll try with new partner Julia Sude. Maria Belén Carro is the Utrecht 2021 Queen, she teams up with Angela Lobato and 2022 Hamburg Queen Pleun Ypma will be giving her all together with Emma Piersma. 2021 Hamburg Queen Anouk Vergé-Dépré will hunt the crown together with Mania Bentele again, with whom she reached the final in Utrecht this season.

The week long extravaganza brings glamorous actors and directors from the film fraternity in contact with fans of the big screen.

The friendly German professor, Jans Tilman was the curator of the football documentaries and was present to interact with the audience before and after the movies. This was actually Jan’s second trip to Goa as he previously organised similar foo
