Tournaments -- Boys
The Danone Nations Cup is the world's greatest football tournament for children between the ages of 10 and 12 (U12s category); it is organized every year since 2000 on the initiative of Groupe Danone. Every year, 2.5 million children from over 34,000 schools and 11,000 clubs from around the globe take part in local, regional and then national Danone Nations Cup competitions, before the winners fly off to compete in the grand World Final. In each of the 32 participating countries, Danone's subsidiaries organize their national tournaments in partnership with the local Sports Federations and/or State Education and Sports Ministers. For 10 years, the tournament has had Zinédine Zidane as its ambassador, benefiting from his commitment to high quality football and fair play.
