Tulum’s Young Footballers Win Big at Real Madrid Event

Riviera Maya, Mexico — Tulum Country Club is celebrating the outstanding performance of its young footballers at the recent "World Challenge," a friendly tournament organized by the Real Madrid Foundation. The event, held in Madrid from April 15 to 18, brought together over 1,000 children from 72 teams across 23 countries and four continents, all participating in the foundation’s educational programs.

U10 Team Crowned Champions

The U10 category of Tulum’s "Educational Football Program" emerged as champions, a victory that underscores the players’ dedication and elevates the reputation of a community committed to fostering holistic development through sports and core values.

Pablo Gil, a former Real Madrid player and technical director of the program at Tulum Country Club, remarked, "This triumph is a testament to what can be achieved when we believe in the values of sports. Beyond the result, what matters most is seeing how these boys have grown as individuals. Representing Tulum in an international experience like this is a true honor." His words reflect the camaraderie and personal growth that define the team’s philosophy.

Tournament Focused on Values and Development

The tournament took place at Real Madrid’s "Ciudad Deportiva" and other official facilities. While not a high-performance competition, the event emphasized camaraderie, sportsmanship, and education, aligning with the Real Madrid Foundation’s core values: respect, motivation, teamwork, self-esteem, autonomy, healthy habits, and equality.

Rapid Progress for a Young Program

The significance of Tulum’s participation is heightened by the fact that the program was launched just one year ago and is already yielding tangible results, both in sports and personal development. The team’s presence at the "World Challenge" marks a major milestone for the initiative, which is spearheaded by Grupo Piñero through its Residences & Golf division, in collaboration with the Real Madrid Foundation and the Colegio Internacional Alemán.

This achievement not only inspires the local community but also reinforces the commitment to initiatives that integrate education, sports, and well-being.
