This summer from July 24 to August 2 an exciting international, pre-season football tournament will be held in Andalucia. The Peace Cup aims to promote world peace through football and has been held in South Korea since 2003.
This is the first time the tournament is to be held in Europe and sunny, southern Spain has been lucky to be selected as the venue.
So far the following teams have confirmed their assistance:
Al-Ittihad
Aston Villa
Celtic
Fenerbhace
FC Porto
Juventus
LDU Quito
Madrid
Málaga
Olympique Lyonnais
Seongnam Ilwah
Sevilla.
The exact dates of each match have not yet been provided by the organisers, but we do know that the stadiums at Málaga, Seville, Jerez and Huelva have been chosen for this exciting event. Madrid will also lend a hand in hosting the 2009 Peace Cup.
Whether your aim is to promote world peace, or simply enjoy a good football match, your dreams are set to come true this summer, right here in Andalucia.
