by Philipp Koch-Gombert

Football players, watch out! It won't work without you: REWE Group is once again looking for recreational footballers who would like to take part in the Come-Together Cup on 29 May 2025 in a mixed and a men's team on the pitches of the RheinEnergie Stadium in Cologne in the "REWE Group DITO-Kickers" teams. Registration is possible until 25 April.

This year will be bigger than ever before: up to 25,000 visitors are expected to attend the 31st Come-Together-Cup Cologne (CTC) on 29 May 2025 (Ascension Day) on the RheinEnergieStadion pitches. You can look forward to a comprehensive programme with 96 teams, 50 exhibitors, around 1,300 players and eight hours of stage entertainment. In addition, there will once again be the "Boulevard of Diversity" and a celebrity fun kick in the afternoon.

rEWE Group employees now have the chance to register for the teams. We are looking for up to 14 players each for the mixed and men's teams.

  • A maximum of 7 male footballers per mixed team may be part of a 14-player mixed team squad. All other mixed team squad places should be available for women or for trans*, inter* and non-binary footballers
  • No active DFB club footballers above district league level - i.e. DFB-Landesliga and above - are permitted in the mixed and men's tournament groups.

to ensure a well-rounded and professional appearance of the REWE Group teams at this tournament, REWE Group will provide the players with a jersey set (consisting of jersey, shorts, socks) on loan.

The CTC is a charity tournament for understanding between homosexual and heterosexual amateur footballers. The CTC brings together people of different origins, skin colours, sexual orientations, faiths and physical disabilities - on and off the football pitch. It is the most popular recreational football tournament in Europe and the proceeds from the tournament support the charitable organisations Aidshilfe Köln e.V. and anyway e.V. in Cologne

rEWE Group has sponsored the annual tournament since 2014 and has also entered its own teams for several years. REWE Group receives two exclusive team places: one team place each for the mixed relay and the men's competition.
