THE TORREVIEJA CUP, COSTA BLANCA has evolved into the city’s premier sporting youth tournament and helping to place Torrevieja on Spain’s sporting map as one of the places to hold other tournaments in different sporting disciplines.
The second Easter event was a fantastic success, both in terms of the number of teams participating and the support given by travelling families and friends. Last week’s event attracted more than 1,800 youth footballers, from age 8 through 18, 500 travelling supporters and attracted scouts from major teams around the country, who had the opportunity to see a showcase of some of today’s youth who will be tomorrow’s professionals.
The tournament began the weekend before with an indoor football tournament and for the first time, youth handball. All of the teams attended a presentation ceremony on Thursday afternoon, starting in front of the Town Hall and parading on mass to the Vista Alegre, where all squad members had their photos taken and received plaques. The Tournament started under floodlights on Thursday night and concluded Sunday afternoon with teams from Torrevieja, Elche, Madrid, Alicante, Valencia, Murcia, Cataluna and the Canary Islands, all taking part.
