“Get out there and enjoy!”. With this iconic phrase, Johan Cruyff encouraged his players before stepping onto the pitch for the 1992 European Cup final. That victory not only defined a generation but solidified the legacy of a coach and player who forever changed the way football is understood.
Cruyff represents far more than a sports figure: he embodies excellence, innovation and the belief that the journey —how things are done— is just as important as the final result. This spirit is what brings to life a very special tournament returning once again to Mediterranean Sports Hub.
A very special tournament
From December 5th to 7th, the Cruyff Football Tournament will hold its second edition at our facilities after a debut last year that exceeded all expectations.
More than 1,200 athletes and over 50 teams, both male and female, will compete on the fields of Futbol Salou.
This is a high-level tournament featuring international teams and top clubs such as RCD Espanyol, Sporting Lisbon, Atlético de Madrid, Villarreal CF, FC Barcelona and Ajax Amsterdam, two clubs deeply connected to Cruyff’s football legacy.
The perfect dates to compete
This tournament follows weeks of activity with the Surf Cup International and highlights a key message: the Costa Daurada is a year-round sports destination.
Even in autumn and winter, teams enjoy a mild and stable climate, ideal for outdoor training and competition. This climatic advantage allows us to offer sports activity throughout the entire year —a highly valued benefit for many European clubs.
Mediterranean Sports Hub offers:
- 13 high-performance football pitches
- Modern facilities including changing rooms, classrooms and analysis spaces
- Premium accommodation at Cambrils Park Resort
- A complete sports ecosystem ideal for training camps, friendlies and international tournaments
All this makes our complex the perfect venue for hosting competitions beyond the traditional summer season.
Mediterranean Sports Hub, where winter is also game time
Hosting the Cruyff Football Tournament reinforces our mission: providing a place where clubs from all over the world can enjoy professional facilities, exceptional weather and an unmatched sporting experience.
In winter, here, the game never stops. Are you ready to play?
