While much of Europe is deep in winter, the Spanish coast is ready for football. The Endeka Sports Cup Salou brings boys’ and girls’ youth teams together for three days of competition on the Costa Daurada, timed with the Carnival break, with a festive atmosphere that makes it different from any other tournament on the calendar. In 2027 it returns for its third edition.

When is the Endeka Sports Cup Salou 2027?
The tournament runs from 5 to 7 February 2027, during the Carnival holiday period.
Where is it played?
Matches are played in Salou and Cambrils, on the Costa Daurada south of Barcelona, with the Mediterranean Sports Hub as the main venue. Depending on the number of registered teams, the organization can add pitches and venues to keep the schedule comfortable for everyone. The area is well connected for international teams, via Reus Airport and Barcelona–El Prat Airport.
Which age groups take part?
The tournament covers age groups from prebenjamín up to second-year infantil, roughly ages 7 to 14. The girls’ competition runs in parallel with the boys’ one, in three categories: U10, U12 and U14.
How is the competition organized?
Teams play an initial group stage, followed by knockout rounds leading to the finals on Sunday. It is the same format as previous editions, designed so every team plays several matches against opponents of a similar level.
More than football
Alongside the matches, the tournament includes:
- A medal presentation for participating teams.
- A closing trophy ceremony.
- A fancy dress contest, the Carnival touch that sets this tournament apart, open to players and accompanying family.
More activities will be announced in the coming weeks.
