The second edition of the tournament will take place from June 14th to July 20th, every Saturday and Sunday, at the stadium of Italian Football Federation (FIGC) from Prepo to Perugia.

The nations represented will be: Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Congo, Italy, Ecuador, Nigeria, Gambia, Albania, together with the Africa United team, symbol of the union between the different African identities present in the territory.

The tournament will not be alone Soccer. Each day will be enriched by ceremonies and cultural performances, artistic exhibitions and moments of community reflection, creating a climate of celebration, meeting and dialogue. "I am happy that these kids, through the tournament, can experience our city as protagonists, giving everyone, including the so-called "invisible", the opportunity to participate in sport and in life", said Councilor Vossi who concluded by saying that sport, with its values, has a fundamental role within society: to accompany talents, but, at the same time, to involve those who have been left behind, making them feel part of a cohesive community.
