NPLNSW.COM.AU 31THE ANNUAL VIAREGGIO COPPA CARNEVALE
WORLD YOUTH TOURNAMENT
APIA has been a participant in this prestigious World Class Tournament for nearly two decades rubbing
shoulders with the likes of the mighty Juventus, A C Milan (the two most successful Clubs in this
Tournament with nine titles each), as well as Manchester United and Inter Milan, to name a few.
The Viareggio Tournament, officially named the Viareggio Cup World Football Tournament Coppa
Carnevale, is a youth association football tournament held annually in Viareggio, Italy and its surrounding
areas. Established in 1949, the Torneo di Viareggio is considered one of the most important youth football
tournaments in the world.
It coincides with the Carnival of Viareggio, starting on the third Monday of Carneval. The tournament
runs for a fortnight, and finishes on the last Monday of the Carnival. For this reason, it is also known as the
Coppa Carnevale (Carnival Cup).
