The Copa del Sol football tournament offers a unique opportunity for training and match play for the Scandinavian teams during the winter break. With an ambition to become the most interesting tournament during the pre season for teams from Sweden, Norway and Denmark, it offers both a high level training environment and matches against high level international opponents.
Copa del Sol is played in February, one month before the kickoff of the national leagues, which is an optimal window to fine tune form and develop tactics before the opening of the league series.
Copa del Sol offers not only sportive development for the Scandinavian teams during pre season, but also increased revenue opportunities through the tournament prize money which totals SEK 2.000.000.
