After an incredible clinic with Bayern Munich, the boys are back in training. They are in the final stretch before one of the biggest events of the year, and we now have the KSA Team Rosters for the Cruyff Football Tournament.

A new experience for KSA
This is the second edition of the Cruyff Football Tournament, but it is the first time that Kaptiva Sports Academy has taken part. After competing in the Surf Cup around this time last year (this year the KSA Global Stage teams will be going), we are now returning to Salou, but to enjoy a new experience.
We already told you that the Cruyff Football Tournament guarantees a minimum of four matches for each team. In 11-a-side soccer, each match will consist of two 25-minute halves. Groups of four teams will play in a league format, guaranteeing a minimum of three matches in this phase.
The teams ranked first and second will advance to the final phase (quarterfinals, semifinals, and final), while those ranked third and fourth will advance to the silver phase.
We remind you that this tournament is named after Johan Cruyff, the legendary player for clubs such as Ajax, Barcelona, and Feyenoord, among others. Cruyff was a true legend, winning numerous titles such as the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and La Liga, to name a few.
What do you think of the KSA Team Rosters for the Cruyff Football Tournament? As the tournament progresses, and especially after it ends, we will give you all the details.
