The countdown has begun. This weekend the XXVI edition of the PAMESA LaLiga Promises tournament will be played at the PAMESA Cerámica Training Ground in Vila-real.

The opening ceremony will be held this Thursday 13^th June at 7pm CEST on field 1 at said training ground. 

The competition, organised by LaLiga and the Fundación José Ramón de la Morena, will see 20 First Division U12 teams participate. Over three days, from Friday 14^th to Sunday 16^th June, the future promises of Spanish football will be in Vila-real. The Yellow Submarine are the tournament’s hosts and will be looking to lift their third title.
