Eighth edition of the Copa Alma Europa
It will be held in Madrid in collaboration with the UEFA Foundation for Children.
The Real Madrid Foundation is organising the eighth edition of the Copa Alma and, after a two-year break due to the pandemic, it is to be held in Madrid. Eighty students from socio-sports schools in Spain, Romania, Portugal, Hungary, Bulgaria and Morocco will benefit from a multicultural experience over several days of sport and values while all sharing their passion: football as a common language.
This edition will be hosted in collaboration with the UEFA Foundation for Children. One new feature will be the launch of the Copa Alma channel on the interactive Sports Values Academy TV platform, which will feature videos including challenges such as Flying Goals or a Grand Prix and alternative sports such as roundnet or futsal, which the participants will have seen and then put into practice on the pitch. Additionally, on the closing day, the matches will be shown live and interviews with the participants will be uploaded.
In the football matches, an emphasis will be placed on moral values through initiatives such as the selection of a MVP in values. After each match, the teams will discuss which player from the opposing team is the most representative of the value they have focused on during the day's work. There will also be a third period of reflection to determine the score in values for the opposing team, and the 'White Card' programme will be implemented, which recognises good attitudes of the players participating in the competition.
The event will be run by the technical directors of the socio-sports schools to ensure the proper conveyance of the Real Madrid Foundation's work philosophy, based on the methodology ‘Por una Educación Real: valores y deporte’ ‘For a Real Education: values and sport’. As well as playing football, the participants will take part in different activities, including a visit to Madrid and a musical performance among the participants.
