The Municipal Sports Field will host the tenth edition of the Berga City Tournament
The X City of Berga Tournament will bring together twenty junior teams. The competition will have the participation of twenty youth football teams who will play in the final phase of the tournament this Sunday, February 11.
This is a fascinating edition, as half of the teams have professional structures and this makes the competition more attractive.
The organization expects the attendance of around 1,500 people including players, technical teams, family members and fans.
The opponent to beat will be FC Barcelona, who achieved victory last year and is the most outstanding team in the list, with the achievement of three trophies (2017-2019-2023).
A competition organized with effort and dedication
The City of Berga Tournament is organized by the Berga Sports Club with the collaboration of the Berga Town Council, the Berguedà Regional Council and the support of the Catalan Football Federation.
The president of the Club, Joan Noguera, has highlighted the dedication of the club to make the tournament better every year and the effort to be able to bring renowned teams.
The director of the Tournament, Sergi Torrabadella, has shared that all the professional teams that will compete will come with their most powerful teams because it is a way to measure the strengths.
An event that promotes grassroots sport
From the administrations, the mutual collaboration with the club has been highlighted precisely to make this tournament a success.
The councilor for Sports in Berga, Guillem Canal, has expressed the importance of this type of event that promotes grassroots sport and the values of sport.
The regional councilor for Sports and president of the Council, Ramon Caballé, has highlighted the great diversity of sports in the region and the ability to organize a tournament of this magnitude.
