Coerver® Coaching England & Wales are pleased to announce that they will be competing at the first ever Global Coerver® Cup 5 v 5 tournament, in partnership with adidas®, to take place in Madrid, Spain between 13th-18th April 2014.
The tournament is being staged to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Coerver® Coaching and will bring Coerver® teams from all over the world to compete in one of the world’s most iconic football cities over six action packed days with players competing in the U11, U13 & U15 (girls) age groups.
Two squads have been selected from the Performance Academy programme in England & Wales and will compete in the U11 & U13 age groups. In addition to the various teams that will be traveling to represent their respective Coerver® country there will also be a number of Coerver® Partner clubs competing in addition to squads from La Liga clubs Real Madrid CF & Atletico Madrid.
In addition to the Coerver® Cup tournament it-self, attending players and spectators will have time to take in the cultural side of Madrid with a visit also planned to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, home of “Los Blancos”, Real Madrid CF (see below image).
Coerver® Coaching UK Director, Scott Wright commented “We are really excited to be taking two squads of players to compete in Madrid at the first ever global Coerver Cup. 2014 is a very important year for us with it being our 30th anniversary and this unique event will be bringing Coerver Players, Coaches, Parents and Partner Clubs together from all over the world”.
“There are teams coming from North America, South America & Europe as well as some local La Liga clubs including Real Madrid CF & Atletico Madrid which should prove to be an unbelievable development opportunity for our players”.
“The benefits on the football side of the event are clear to see but you also have the social and cultural side which for me is just an important for each players personal development. I have been lucky enough to work in Madrid three times in the last couple of years and it is definitely one of the world’s great cities for culture, food, shopping and certainly football, so I believe this will be a great event for everyone that is fortunate enough to be taking part”.
