Structure of tournament

Our tournament is inspired by the European elite youth football model, where the key pillars are multiple matches against teams from different backgrounds and cultures, a high-intensity playing rhythm, fair competition, and a structure that keeps every participant engaged until the very last day of the event.

Ranking & Motivation

An important feature of the tournament is that every team receives a final ranking position. This ensures that all participants remain motivated and competitive until the very end, striving for the best possible placement in the standings.

Tournament Format

The tournament is structured around three competitive stages designed to ensure balance, intensity, and motivation for all participating teams.

  • Teams are re-grouped based on their performance in the first stage, creating balanced and competitive matchups.

3rd Stage: Knockout Phase
