The first edition of the Copa Interior São Paulo takes place

PSG Academy Atibaia, situated in São Paulo, hosted the inaugural edition of the Copa Interior São Paulo from 2nd to 4th August 2024, with the region-wide event sparking a great deal of enthusiasm, as a total of 276 players took part across 25 teams.

La Copa Interior São Paulo included the U7, U9, U11 and U13 sides from São Paulo’s various PSG Academy centres – namely those in Arujá, Atibaia, Campinas, Guarulhos and Santos – as well as teams from the Juiz de Fora centre in the neighbouring state of Minas Gerais, who had been invited along as special guests.

The event was a standout moment for the young players, who were taking part in their first-ever competitive tournament, and it was also a resounding success thanks to PSG Academy Atibaia's warm welcome and excellent infrastructure.

Over the course of the competition, the participants enjoyed a variety of activities on top of the football matches, while Germain, the club's mascot, was there to entertain the crowd and to take photos with the players and their families. The event also offered up a wide range of entertainment, including a mechanical bull, games, a food court for the whole family and a hairdresser for any players wanting football-inspired hair colours and designs.
