4th FUBA World Cup
First time FUBA World Cup is organised outside of Helsinki. This year we will have excellent venue in the heart of Tampere. The event takes place in a local board game cafe, Taverna, which sells great coffee, beer and snacks during the event. Last three years the trophy has stayed in Helsinki, so is this first year the trophy goes also out of Helsinki?
