We are at the 31st edition of Mundialito and it is time to share with the world that more than 100,000 players, men and women, have participated in our tournament; coming from nearly 100 countries on the 5 continents.
According to our records, more than 1000 football professionals have played in Mundialito when they were young.
And not only them, there are many players who compete in lower categories in different countries, as well as others who make their first steps in the main leagues of international football.
It is expected that more than 35/40 % of the players who will participate in Qatar 2022 have played in Mundialito when they were young.
Mundialito has become a socio-sporting phenomenon, being the largest tournament for future international football stars.

"Mundialito is a unique experience for the children who participate in this tournament every year. Competition and victory remain in the background, what is important is to live something magical with children of your age coming from other countries and cultures. My best wishes to our team, Atlético de Madrid, I hope that everyone will enjoy it very much."
