Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about your tournament insurance — clear answers for organizers.

All questions
Do I need insurance as a tournament organizer?

Yes. As the organizer, you are responsible for the safety of participants, volunteers, and visitors. Without the right coverage, you risk being held personally liable for high damage claims in the event of an incident. Tournament insurance covers this risk and gives everyone on the pitch peace of mind.

What insurance options are available for my tournament?

The most requested insurance types are:

  • Liability insurance – for damage to third parties or their property
  • Accident insurance – for injuries to participants and volunteers
  • Equipment insurance – broad coverage for materials and structures
  • Cancellation insurance – for unexpected cancellation (e.g. bad weather)

You can use our form to request advice directly, tailored to your situation.

What exactly does liability insurance cover?

This insurance covers damage for which you as the organizer are legally liable. Think of a visitor tripping over a poorly placed fence, damage to the rented sports facility, or property damage to third parties. The insurance covers both the damage claim and the associated legal costs.

Am I also liable for the actions of volunteers?

In many cases, yes. As the organizer you are responsible for people working on behalf of your event. A good liability insurance policy typically also covers volunteers acting under your instructions during the tournament.

What does accident insurance cover?

Accident insurance pays out a sum in the event of permanent injury or death resulting from an accident during the tournament — such as a broken leg from a tackle or serious head injury from a collision. Depending on the policy, medical costs may also be reimbursed.

Are visitors and volunteers / staff also covered?

That depends on the chosen coverage. Some policies are limited to active participants; others also include volunteers / staff and visitors. During the application process, we will advise you on the most suitable coverage for your situation.

What happens if the tournament is cancelled due to bad weather?

With a cancellation insurance policy, demonstrable costs already incurred (field rental, catering, equipment) are reimbursed if you are forced to cancel the tournament due to circumstances beyond your control. Bad weather is the most common reason. The policy specifies the exact conditions and thresholds.

How much does tournament insurance cost?

The premium depends on factors such as the number of participants, the duration of the event, the chosen coverages, and any additional activities (party, food trucks, temporary structures). A small one-day youth tournament typically costs considerably less than a multi-day senior event with public attendance. Request a free quote via our form.
