For more than 20 years, youth football lives a great celebration every Easter on the Costa Brava. The MICFootball is an international tournament created with the aim of bringing together young players around a common passion: football.
All the young football players who come every year to participate in the Mediterranean International Cup have a dream: to emulate players like Messi, Ansu Fati, Marcus Rashford or Casemiro. Nowadays they are stars, but not so long ago they started to shine in this youth soccer tournament.
Those who come to MIC have the opportunity to live a few days that they will remember for the rest of their lives. For the atmosphere, for the organization, for the environment they will enjoy, for the people they will meet. There are many grassroots football tournaments, but only one of them is MICFootball. Come and you will understand.
