Based on our professional experience and a long-term strategy we believe that the U17 age category is the most important stage in players’ development pathway towards a professional football career.

This tournament is a wonderful chance for the young players to show their talent, skills and progress. It will give them a true learning experience, while simultaneously sharing and enjoying the competitive atmosphere with their peers from other countries.

Moreover, the tournament gives an opportunity for the coaches to implement different tactics, to test more players and to experiment with their positions on the pitch, and also to exchange professional experience of working methods with their foreign colleagues.

Last, but not least, this tournament gives to all participants a chance to explore new cultures and new people, and to create new friendships.THE TALENT CUP will take place in the capital city of Bulgaria – Sofia.
