Comment from Coach of U-16 Mexico National Team
The U-16 INTERNATIONAL DREAM CUP will give our players a wonderful experience, not only on the pitch, but off the pitch as well. I hope our players will gain the opportunity to grow both as a football player and as a human being through this tournament.
