The coaches of the three best Premier League teams agree these tournaments are useful as a preparation for the spring part of the championship.
Samira Hurem, SFK 2000: "Most female teams doesn't stand good financially-wise, and they don't have much opportunity to go to tournaments during the championship break. In this regard, FFBIH takes care of our clubs, and this tournament will benefit all of us because it's very important for players to actually play. We've always won these events, and I expect us to repeat that success again. This time we'll give a chance to younger players with less play time, however we're sure they also possess the qualities to make a good result."
Zoran Dimitric, Banja Luka: "We'll put this tournament to good use because of the big break we had, because not all clubs have equal opportunity to play friendlies. Even though it's a futsal tournament, it'll be useful for everybody to prepare for the rest of this championship. In any case, we'll play to win the first place."
Nikola Nikic, Modrica: "I'll use this tournament to review the candidates for the national team once again. As for Modrica, I'm not sure about the lineup because not all girls are ready, but we'll do our best to achieve the best possible result."
