International youth football tournament: Dazzling sun, deep blue seas, white sandy beaches, lovely boulevards and an exciting nightlife: for many simply the perfect blend for an ideal holiday. This is also the ultimate location for many football fans to hold an international football tournament. Many football clubs have been lured to the Spanish coast for a number of years through the efforts of Euro-Sportring. During the sixties Euro-Sportring offered programmes mainly centred in and around Barcelona, but this has since been extended to include all kinds of tournaments stretching along the Catalan coast. Celebrated seaside resorts such as Lloret de Mar, Calella, Blanes and Malgrat de Mar attract literally hundreds of football clubs from all over Europe, providing them with the opportunity to combine the enjoyment of international football with a fun holiday in a simply magical way. Spain hosts an extensive programme, with tournaments taking place over the Easter and Whitsun holidays, during the summer and also in October. Over the years, more than 1000 teams from 22 countries have taken part in such tournaments annually. Organisation is in the hands of a very experienced and able committee, assisted by the Catalan football association. Tournaments are held on a large sporting complex close to the popular seaside resort of Blanes. Facilities include no less than grass 13 pitches, laid out in terraces, on by far the largest sporting complex in Spain
