The story

Ayia Napa Youth Festival in Ayia Napa

Ayia Napa Youth Soccer Festival, running since 2001, brings more than 350 age-group teams and upwards of four thousand children to sixteen configured pitches across the town's municipal athletic facilities each April. Grassroots categories cover players up to twelve, with separate youth divisions for ages thirteen to seventeen, drawing around twenty thousand total visitors including families and staff.

More than 350 age-group teams and upwards of four thousand children converge on sixteen specially configured pitches across Ayia Napa's municipal athletic facilities each April for what organisers describe as the oldest event run by football academies in Cyprus, a youth soccer tournament running continuously since 2001 that has grown into one of the largest of its kind in the Mediterranean and Middle East region.
