Eskilscupen has attracted youth soccer players all over Scandinavia since 1968. This year, over 14 000 participants played in one of Sweden’s largest soccer tournament and captured memories with the tournament’s official camera app GoCam.

Two of the top football freestylers in the world, Philip Warren Gertsson and Andre Nilsson, took the world’s first touchless crowd selfie with 4000 soccer enthusiasts during the opening ceremony. This was the official kick off for the GoCam Freestyle Challenge where contestants could compete for a iPad mini by capturing their best football trick.

Children, youths, parents and coaches battled by capturing their first touchless video of unique football freestyle skills in GoCam’s booth. The tournament, bigger than previous years, was filled with soccer, fellowship and touchless technology.
