Fifa European Youth Cup[edit]

Contested prod (or, in reality, an endorsed prod removed by an IP). By all certainty, this tournament does not exist. FIFA would not organise an European competition. UEFA might in theory, but there is no information about a tournament of this on UEFA website. Using Google does not reveal anything about his tournament. Neither I've seen anything that would indicate its existence under some other name, as suggested by the IP who removed the prod template. Julius Sahara (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a hoax. There is something called a Blue Stars/Fifa Youth Cup, but this is not it. This has to be a case of someone having too much time on their hands. Drmies (talk) 17:22, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - doesn't exist. Give-aways include the fact that West Ham's youth team don't play their home games at the Boleyn Ground and also if they were competing in a super-prestigious pan-European tournament, you'd expect their page on the West Ham website to, erm, mention it in some way. Oh yeah, and on the day when Ahmed Abdulla was allegedly scoring a goal in an away match in Sweden in this competition, he was actually scoring a goal at home to Chelsea in the FA Premier Academy League -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 22:24, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as hoax. unable to find any coverage of any of the games supposedly played on those dates (well, gave up after a few) and concur with ChrisTheDude about conflicts.--ClubOranje^Talk 09:21, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. – Pee Jay 09:37, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete as a hoax. The evidence presented by ChrisTheDude is pretty damning. Bettia (rawr!) 09:40, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
