– It is a great honor to be part of a global family with so many names that have done so much for youth around the world, says Armando Lopes.

Armando Lopes came to Gothia Cup for the first time in 2011.
– There was a two-year hiatus during the pandemic, but since then we have set a new record with Portuguese teams every year.

He believes that Gothia Cup is important for the development of young people.
– Every young football player should experience Gothia Cup at least once, as the tournament is unique. No other tournament has that spirit, it is special.
