The tournament is organised by Special Olympics Catalunya and the Catalan Federation of Sports for People with Intellectual Disabilities (ACELL), with the support of Barcelona City Council through the Barcelona Institute of Sports.
The 6th Barcelona International Futsal Trophy provides an opportunity to raise the profile of adapted sport and encourage people with intellectual disabilities to take part in sporting competitions.
The international tournament is designed to bring together teams and athletes from different backgrounds for a competition that combines sporting endeavour with values such as respect, teamwork, personal achievement and social inclusion.
Organised jointly by Special Olympics Catalunya and ACELL, with the support of the Barcelona Institute of Sports, the event reinforces Barcelona's commitment to promoting sport that is accessible and open to everyone.
As well as celebrating sporting achievement, the Barcelona International Futsal Trophy aims to help break down barriers and create opportunities for participation, highlighting the role of physical activity as a means of promoting integration and social cohesion.
