The Global Youth Football Ecosystem

From Portugal to the World.

IberCup was founded in Portugal in 2010 with the vision of creating an international youth soccer tournament that could bring together teams from different countries and cultures, becoming a global meeting point regardless of culture, gender, or religion. Over the years, the project expanded across multiple continents, introducing new tournaments, player development pathways, coaching education initiatives, and international programs. Today, IberCup has become one of the world’s leading youth soccer platforms, welcoming thousands of teams and more than 100,000 participants every year through a connected global soccer ecosystem.
