Every year, when the winter sun returns and our mild climate settles, a huge number of great little sportsmen and women arrive on the island. They are the players of LALIGA FC FUTURES, one of the main sporting events that Gran Canaria hosts. LALIGA FC FUTURES has become the most important U-12 football tournament in the world, and that’s no joke! Year after year the best youth teams of the best football clubs participate in this children’s tournament, which closes the year by bringing together a multitude of children who are promising stars of the global sport.

If you want to see the Stars of the Future, they’ll be in Maspalomas, just a few metres from the beach, in a giant jumble of coloured shirts that match with Gran Canaria’s Christmas lights. Race up, race down, penalties, passes, offsides, all the excitement of live matches. There will be only one champion team, but all the children will be champions. And they will treasure the fun days they spent in the south of Gran Canaria. Do your children like football? They will surely love to come to the LALIGA FC FUTURES matches.

PS: The referee, the tall man in the orange shirt, is not Father Christmas.
