A Tournament with Local Support
The Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism (MITUR), along with Cap Cana Sports City, Asonahores, Banreservas, Malta Morena, Air Europa, Gatorade, Copa Airlines, No-AD Sun Care, and Seguros Crecer, are leading this project.
This strategic alliance not only seeks to attract future soccer stars but also to project an image of a country “ready to welcome the world,” generating an economic and media impact that transcends Dominican borders. MICFootball is recognized worldwide as the most prestigious youth soccer tournament in the world. With over 20 years of success on the Costa Brava, Spain, where its last edition brought together 444 teams from 44 countries, its consolidation in Cap Cana allows for the creation of an unprecedented bridge of opportunities in the Americas.
