The Trofeo Mediterraneo II tournament is run by Euro Sporting who has run tournaments in the region since the 1960's. It is one of the major European youth tournaments and it is run at the home of Club Futbol de Tordera. A Corinthians team played in the tournament in 2008 and had a great experience

The Trofeo Mediterraneo II takes place at a fantastic sports park, situated in Tordera (just outside Blanes) between Lloret de Mar and Calella. Our hotel is 7 miles from the complex, which has thirteen well kept grass pitches (attention: no metal studs allowed) and eighteen modern equipped changing rooms. The Complex had a bar/cafeteria and a covered space to get into the shade when the sun is at its hottest.
