SOCCACUP Rovinj 2026
The SOCCACUP Rovinj at Whitsun (22-25 May 2026) is an international football tournament in Rovinj for children's and youth teams from U9 to U17.
Rovinj is often referred to as the Saint-Tropez of the Adriatic or the Pearl of the Adriatic. It offers an international flair with a maximum of 50 teams from Croatia, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, Germany and other countries.
In addition to our premium philosophy of offering our customers optimal playing conditions, first-class and target group-specific accommodation and optimal support, we also attach great importance to a balanced tournament schedule so that you can plan and use your free time perfectly.

My personal tip for you
In Croatia, the youth football tournament can be perfectly combined with a short vacation, so my tip is to arrive a day early or extend your stay by another day if necessary. I would be happy to put together an individual supporting program for your team, of course tailored to your match schedule. To ensure that there is enough time for swimming and relaxing, we would like to offer all teams enough free time in the afternoon - most of the matches will be played in the morning.

Venue
In addition to the SOCCACUP youth football tournaments, we have been organizing training camps for professional and amateur clubs for many years. With over 1,000 training camp trips a year, we are the most successful organizer in Europe. The quality of the natural and artificial pitches is particularly important to us, which is why we have the perfect tournament location for you in Istria.
The local stadium in Rovinj has two great natural pitches and an artificial pitch and is not only just a few minutes' walk from the sea, but the distance to the accommodation is also less than ten minutes by car.
Thanks to the local conditions in Croatia, we are probably the only organizer who can offer a 100% tournament and match guarantee even in bad weather.

The tournament will take place on the sports fields of NK Rovinj, in the Valbrunna stadium right in the center of Rovinj.
