The 2016 Uhrencup was a summer football friendly tournament.[1] Matches were played in Grenchen and Biel. Swiss clubs Young Boys (Super League) and Zürich (Challenge League) were joined by Borussia Mönchengladbach (Germany) and Galatasaray (Turkey).[2] It was the 52nd edition of the Uhrencup, but the first since 2013.
The tournament consisted of four matches, with three points given for a win, two for a penalty shoot-out win, one for a penalty shoot-out loss or a draw, and zero for a loss. A penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winners if tied after 90 minutes. However, after the final match between Galatasaray and Young Boys finished as a 1–1 draw, Galatasaray mathematically became champions, therefore no penalty shoot-out took place.[1]
