Where does your next story begin?
Welcome to the Challenge Cup.
From the first sketch to the opening whistle, we build the stage your team will remember having played on.
Getting here is already part of the prize.
Two editions, two atmospheres: Paredes at Easter, the Algarve in summer. The same rigour, the same care for those who travel.
International youth football tournaments where every match feels like a final — and every trip becomes a story.

One Game. One Goal. Fair Play for All
Our tournament
From Easter in the North to summer in the Algarve, we built the tournament where clubs from Portugal and around the world go head to head, players grow and families experience the tournament from the inside. Demanding competition, professional organisation — and an experience that doesn't end at the final whistle.

Your players come to compete. They go home with stories.
The experience
From the first coach to the final whistle: what a week at the Challenge Cup actually feels like.
Chapter01 / 06
They come by coach, by plane, from everywhere. Twenty minutes later they're swapping shirts with kids they've never met.
Chapter02 / 06
Hundreds of teams at sunset, before a single match has been played. This is where it sinks in how big this is.
Chapter03 / 06
Real pitches, real referees, opponents who play a different game. This is where your team finds out what it's made of.
Chapter04 / 06
Parents who crossed Europe, teammates who already played, kids from other clubs cheering. Nobody plays alone here.
Chapter05 / 06
Some lift the trophy. Everyone takes the week home. And on the coach back, they're already asking about next year.
Chapter06 / 06
Medal on, coach waiting. They take home the result — and a week they will be telling for years.
