Play on an International Stage

Torneo Primer Toque is one of Spain's largest youth tournaments, bringing together teams from Spain, Europe, South America and North America for an Easter weekend of competitive fútbol in Castellón.

Hosted by Primer Toque CF, the tournament has welcomed academy teams from FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, Valencia CF, Villarreal CF and Sevilla FC across 18 editions.

This isn't just a chance to play in Spain. It's a chance for your players to step onto the pitch against the academies developing Spain's next generation.

Real teams. Real competition.

Your Team Isn't Watching From the Sidelines

In 2015, an eight-year-old Lamine Yamal competed in the tournament representing FC Barcelona's youth academy.

That's the level of player who competes on this stage. Your team isn't coming to Spain to watch. You're coming to compete.

Built for Competitive Teams

For competitive youth teams ready to take their game outside their familiar environment.

For players, it's a chance to experience Spanish tournament fútbol while they're still young enough for it to shape how they see the game. For coaches and clubs, it's a chance to test their team against different styles and a genuine Spanish challenge.

You don't travel to Spain just to play more games.
You come to play games you can't get at home.

Individual Players Can Apply

You don't necessarily need to arrive with a full team.

Spanish teams often look for extra players to complete their tournament rosters. Individual players, travelling with a parent or guardian, can apply to join a Spanish team for the tournament. Places depend on roster needs and the right player fit.

Sponsorship Support

Give your sponsors more than a logo on a shirt. Our club content team captures photos and video throughout the tournament week, ready to share with the businesses that supported your trip.

Your sponsors get a real story to share with their community, and real exposure through your team's and families' social channels.
