The Pablo Hernández Morales Stadium, in El Hornillo, will be the venue for this event, which aims to become an unmissable fixture for youth football in the Canary Islands. The day will combine sporting competition with activities that highlight the identity and celebration of this significant date for Canarian society.
The Canaluz Cup, exclusively sponsored by the electricity company of the same name, is presented not only as a competition but as a comprehensive experience for players, families, and fans. Numerous surprises and parallel activities are planned throughout the day to enhance the festive nature of the event.
“"The Canaluz Cup is born with the hope of creating more than just a tournament: we want to build an annual event that represents the values of youth football and, furthermore, connects with Canarian identity on such a special day."
The official presentation of the tournament took place at the stadium, with the presence of representatives from Unión Deportiva Telde, the Inter-Island Football Federation of Las Palmas, and Canaluz. All emphasized the importance of the initiative for promoting youth sports and projecting the city as a sporting reference.
