FIT 2026 is here! There’s just over a week to go until the start of the first major tournament of the year. Our KSA Global Stage team rosters are already formed, as you may have read in our last blog post. But little by little, we’re learning all the crucial information about the tournament, and we now know the FIT 2026 Group Stage.
As a reminder, Kaptiva Sports offers youth football training sessions before FIT 2026 to get to know the team and develop strategies. This is essential for both coaches and players. Our trip will take place from February 8 to 16, 2026, while the tournament will be held from February 13 to 15.

FIT 2026 “Promises Edition” Program
FIT 2026 “Promises Edition” will take place on Barcelona’s Maresme coast. The Maresme is a region that can be visited all year round. It combines the richness of an internationally renowned tourist area with the culture, gastronomy, and traditions of its popular festivals.
Without a doubt, there is no better place to hold this great tournament, which will be structured as follows: on Thursday, February 12, the teams will arrive at their accommodations, and the Group Stage will begin on the 13th. On Saturday morning, February 14, the Group Stage will continue, and in the afternoon, the round of 16 and quarterfinals will take place.
Finally, on Sunday, February 15, the semifinals, finals, and trophy presentation will be held in the morning. In the afternoon, the tournament will end, and the teams will begin to leave their accommodations to return home.
With the tournament just around the corner, all that remains is to wish our four teams the best of luck in the Group Stage of FIT 2026. So… Good luck!
