The Bruges Matins (Dutch: Brugse Metten, French: Matines Brugeoises) is a yearly friendly tournament organised by the Belgian football club Club Brugge KV. [1]

Contents

The name of the tournament refers to the nocturnal massacre in Bruges in 1302, which is called the Bruges Matins. The tournament was first organised in 1976 as a four-team competition. [2] However, since 1991, with the exception of 1992, it was reduced to just a one-match tournament between Club Brugge and another team. Normally, teams from abroad are invited, but sometimes other Belgian teams take part. On two occasions, a national team was present, namely Senegal in 1985 and Morocco in 1987. In case Club Brugge play in the Belgian Super Cup, the match won't be organised that season. [3]

The winner of the tournament wins a trophy called Goedendag , which is an alternative name of the medieval club-like weapon more commonly known under the name Morning star. As a result, the tournament is sometimes also called "The Goedendag Trophy". [4]

Finals

Note: In case of a draw, penalties usually decided the winner. However, both in 1991 and 2014 the game ended in a draw and no winner was declared.
