The Madrid Easter Cup has established itself as an exciting opportunity for players in the United States to gain international exposure in Europe and live a transformative experience that will push players to the next level.

Hosted from April 2-5 in the Spanish capital, the tournament combines high-level sporting competition with a unique cultural experience, positioning Madrid as an international reference in the organization of youth football events. In the last edition, more than 200 teams competed, with 15 different nationalities represented. Competition age groups include Boys (2007–2019) and Girls (2007–2017). 

The tournament is held under the auspices of the Royal Madrid Football Federation (Real Federación de Fútbol de Madrid), ensuring compliance with official federative regulations, high organizational standards, and the proper sporting development of all competitions. This institutional backing significantly enhances the sporting integrity of the event and is a key reason the event continues to attract top teams from multiple countries.

The Madrid Easter Cup is distinguished by its strong international character. In its first two editions, the tournament has welcomed clubs of outstanding reputation from multiple continents. Renowned European academies, such as FC Porto, Sporting Clube de Portugal, SL Benfica, FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, Valencia CF, Girona FC, Real Valladolid, Rayo Vallecano, and C.D. Leganés have taken part, guaranteeing an exceptionally high competitive standard. For coaches, it’s an ideal benchmark event: players are challenged by different game rhythms, tactical demands, and technical standards.

The international reach of the competition is further reinforced by the participation of numerous teams from the United States, Canada and Mexico, as well as clubs from Japan, a country globally recognized for its excellence in youth player development. There’s a common thread teams mention every year: a noticeable before and after effect, international matches accelerate development in a way regular training rarely can.
