The best schools in the world


A grand celebration with football as the main character, surrounded by amazing surprises.

The Sport World Cup, a dream come true, turned the Costa del Sol into the capital of children’s sports.

This edition brought together almost 500 children from more than 20 different countries.

Not just football

Sport is important, but it’s not everything. During the championship, the BTC Foundation organized activities aimed at raising environmental awareness.

In addition to the four-day tournament, we offer the possibility to combine participation with other activities before or after the event:

Clinics with the Real Madrid Foundation in Valdebebas (Madrid).
Visits to unique locations such as Málaga, Granada, Seville, or Córdoba.

Where will we stay?

The BlueBay Banús Hotel is located in the exclusive Puerto Banús area, just a few meters from the beach and 7 km from Marbella city center.

The hotel spreads over more than 28,000 square meters of lush and spectacular subtropical gardens, pools, and ponds, making it an oasis in the heart of the Mediterranean.

Which categories can participate?

We have three categories (U12, U14, U16) for boys, girls, and mixed teams. The mixed category is one of the championship’s highlights, with teams composed of boys and girls promoting inclusion and fun.
