Dear Ed, Merry Christmas!
My name is Slavik, I am from Lviv, Ukraine.
I represent NGO "Karpaty" (we work with football supporters
of Western Ukraine). Our web-site: www.gokarpaty.org
Next year we will be holding the traditional international fans’ tournament EUROFAN for the 5th
consecutive year.
Here is the EUROFAN page in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurofan
You can also find many photos and videos from previous events on Facebook:

The dates: 23-26 June 2011.
On 23 June teams arrive in Lviv and check in hotels, the tournament
lasts three days, from 24 till 26 June.
Our tournament is rather a non-competitive one.
Professional or semi-professional players are not allowed.
Our motto might sound like this:
play some football, drink some beer,
make friends, have fun!
Tournament rules: 11-a-side teams,
matches played in qualifying groups will have duration of 50 minutes (2 halves, 25 minutes each),
matches played in playoffs will have duration of 60 minutes (2 halves, 30 minutes each).
During games we arrange live comments and music (speakers are placed around the ground,
DJ and commentator work with microphones).
Number of substitutes is not limited.
Regarding accommodation:
Depending on a hotel, its class, location and conditions, we offer up to 50% of discount on stay
(excluding breakfasts) for all members of your delegation (the number of persons is not limited).
Normally cost of one night per one person in a good hotel is about 25 EUR.
If you prefer to stay in a hostel, then you pay for it yourselves (cost of one one night per one person
in a good hotel is about 10-12 EUR).
We will offer you several options to choose from.
Also during the tournament all invited team will be accompanied by volunteers speaking in respective
languages.
They will meet teams in Lviv, help in finding hotels, checking-in and be helpful in different situations.
After the tournament we organize a celebration party with
prizes and mementos for all tournament guests.
Also we ask all teams to send us an entrance fee in the amount of 150 Euro from each team as a guarantee of participation.
Travelling to and from Ukraine is at your cost.
Lviv is the main city in the Western Ukraine, it’s located not far from the Polish-Ukrainian border.
Our city is regarded the cultural capital of Ukraine, it is very beautiful and resembles Vienna or Prague.
Lviv will be one of host cities for EURO-2012 to be held in Poland in Ukraine in 2012.
Below are some links about Lviv:

Herewith we officially invite a fans' team of Arsenal FC to take part
in “EUROFAN-2011â€

No, I don't, every year winners are different 
Next year's tournament should be the most unpredictable one with 24 participating teams...anyway Eurofan is rather a non-competitive tournament, it's for fans from all Europe to meet each other, play some football, have some beer, have fun and make friends.

will we get out of your country alive, if we win - i've heard how you eastern europeans like to torture English / American students
yes you will although it may seem impossible
every year teams from different European countries come to us, have a whale of time and get back home safe...well, slightly hungover probably
teams from the UK like Wales supporters team and Liverpool fans team are our constant participants and they always take part in Eurofan tournaments with pleasure.
any more questions?

This seems like a really good laugh. 
If I didn't have so many family commitments 
I'd certainly entertain the idea of going. 
Some of you gooners on here with either no young family, work commitments, or even those with rich parents, should seriously consider getting a group together and giving it a go.
Having gone on similar type football tours (albeit some 20 odd years ago), I'm almost sure it will be a blast.
