Year: 2001-present
For more than 20 years, youth football has been experiencing a great celebration every Easter on the Costa Brava (Catalonia, Spain). MICFootball is an international tournament created with the aim of bringing together young footballers around a common passion: football. It is a professional experience, with the presence of the best clubs, and a challenge for players who dream of reaching the elite.
Figures for the 2025 edition:
- 10,000 participants (players, coaches and family members)
- 444 teams
- 44 countries represented
- 59 football fields
- 43 venues involved

The story began in 2001 in the Canary Islands, making the idea of three friends who wanted to create a benchmark tournament a reality. In 2002 it moved to a Costa Brava that has since become a luxurious host to welcome the more than 5,000 teams and 100,000 players who have passed through MICFootball.
From the Brazilian National Team with Neymar or Coutinho to Barça – the team with the most titles – of Lamine Yamal, who left their mark in 2019 and 2022, winning the tournament in their respective categories. Other names such as Messi, Carvajal, Rashford, Pedri, Rodri or Cole Palmer have been part of the MIC. A list of MICPlayers that exceeds 300. The tournament where the stars of the future are born.
MICSports has its star event in MICFootball and manages it 360. It coordinates more than 20 hotels, the schedules of the dozens of buses that move the teams daily, the 444 participating teams with a management team that has been in permanent contact with them for months, the 400 volunteers without whom it would not be possible to do it, all the media coverage, 24/7 coverage on Social Networks, the setup of the almost 60 fields with advertising and its own branding, etc. A transatlantic that continues to make history edition after edition.
