I would definitely love to repeat it and would suggest it to everyone I know. Just because it is something so amazing and you never get this opportunity again. Its something that you dream about doing over and over again. Its something that no one will ever forget.

Agustin Navarro Player

This is our 5th year, we have a great relationship with adidas. For us it is the best tournament of the year because we can exchange technical, tactical, or even education points with Europe because everyone knows the best soccer is in Europe. The way the kids behave is completely different then in the States. So the highlight for me is how they transform their personality, it is very refreshing because everything is positive.

Mihai Balaban Coach

You have enough time for soccer but also enough time to experience the culture. It is an educational experience that not to many people have the opportunity to participate in.
