Silkeborg IF made its debut in 1995 at the Karel Stegeman Toernooi with a tournament victory, in which the Danes made a strong impression with a team that included the later Danish internationals Martin Laursen (AC Parma, AC Milan, Aston Villa) and Henrik Pedersen (Bolton Wanderers, Hull City) in the ranks. Between 1995 and 2005 Silkeborg IF took part in the KST seven times and next year the club will come to Ruurlo for the eighth time.
The team participating in the KST will be composed of the current U19 and U17 teams, both playing in Denmark’s top division. Silkeborg IF U19 is behind FC København and FC Midtlylland in third place and the U17 team is part of a group of six teams that after the winter break will be chasing the top three, FC København, Aarhus GF and Vejle BK.
