The Three Cultures Foundation is organising the first edition of the Alqantara Football Tournament for young children, as part of the 2017 Awareness Raising project, funded by the Ministry Delegate in charge of Moroccans Residing Abroad and Migration Affairs.
This tournament was created with the intention of promoting the values of coexistence among children through the practice of football as an instrument for the acquisition of feelings of solidarity, tolerance, cooperation and equality.
The tournament will be played on 26th November at the Polígono Sur Sports Centre, from 10.00 to 15.00 hours, between teams of children aged 8 to 11 years old, according to the official rules of the RFEF of Futbol 7.
Two groups of three teams each will be organised, each group will play a three-team round-robin tournament, with matches lasting 25 minutes each. Once both triangular groups have been completed, a classification will be established in each one, and the qualifying phase will be played between the teams classified in each position and the two champions in the form of a final, to decide the champion and runner-up teams.
To conclude, a ceremony will be held to present diplomas and trophies to all the participating children.
