International youth football tournament
Comacchio · Ferrara · Italy
International U10 tournament
Twenty-eight teams from across Europe, four days by the Adriatic sea in Emilia-Romagna and a schedule designed so that every team plays from Friday morning right through to Sunday.
How it works
Four groups of seven teams, round robin: six guaranteed matches.
After the groups, every team plays opponents who finished in the same position.
On Sunday, at the end of the event, awards for the winning teams and for all participants.
Home of the tournament
Grass pitch, covered stand and facilities a few minutes from Comacchio town centre and the beaches. Matches are played here and on nearby pitches, all close to where the teams stay.
Team registration
The tournament is open to 28 U10 teams with players born in 2017. Entry conditions and what is included for your club are set out in the official invitation.
Accommodation
The tournament partner resorts are at the Lidi di Comacchio, a few minutes from Stadio Raibosola and the sea. All belong to the Tomasi Tourism group, main sponsor of the CCC. Team rates and conditions are set out in the official invitation.
Lido delle Nazioni
A village set in the greenery of the Po Delta Park, with bungalows and small villas equipped with kitchenette and barbecue. On-site restaurant, entertainment and private beach.
Lido di Pomposa
A short walk from the sea: independent bungalows with kitchenette and outdoor space, including Family units for larger groups. On-site restaurant and partner beach.
Lido di Pomposa
Right on the beach: renovated two- and three-bedroom apartments, some on two levels, ideal for families and groups. Umbrella and sunbed included on the beach in front.
Lido degli Estensi
A new property in the heart of Lido degli Estensi, close to the beach: contemporary rooms, suites and apartments, many with a terrace or balcony.
The area
Between matches there is a town built on water, one of the most important lagoons in Europe and the park where the river Po meets the sea. All a few minutes from the pitches.
Built on thirteen small islands linked by bridges, Comacchio is crossed by canals lined with colourful houses, which is why it is called "little Venice". Its symbol is the Trepponti, a monumental bridge with five staircases where the canals meet.
Must see: Trepponti, Ponte degli Sbirri, Loggia dei Grani, San Cassiano Cathedral and the Delta Antico Museum, with the cargo of the Roman ship found in the lagoon.
A few minutes from the pitches are the seven Lidi di Comacchio: miles of fine sandy beach on the Adriatic, with shallow, gently sloping water that is perfect for children and pine woods behind. Halfway along the coast is Porto Garibaldi and its fishing harbour.
The beaches: Volano, Nazioni, Pomposa, Scacchi, Porto Garibaldi, Estensi and Spina. Try a walk along the seafront or on the Porto Garibaldi pier when the boats come back in.
Right outside town lies the great brackish lagoon of the Valli, at the heart of the Po Delta Park: a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and, together with Ferrara, a World Heritage Site. It is home to pink flamingos, herons, avocets and black-winged stilts, and to the historic eel fishery in the old fishing huts.
Things to do: a boat trip from Stazione Foce to the lagoon fishing huts, a sunset bike ride along the embankments. Nearby: the Gran Bosco della Mesola forest and Pomposa Abbey.
Comacchio cuisine comes from the lagoon and the sea: marinated or grilled eel, seafood risotto, mixed Adriatic fried fish. And for the kids there is always pizza, piadina and gelato.
Via Agatopisto 33 · Comacchio old town
Restaurant and pizzeria in the heart of the old town, among the canals: traditional Comacchio dishes and pizza, a short walk from the Trepponti.
Stazione Foce · Comacchio lagoons
In an old fishing hut in the lagoon, with the large fireplace where eel was once cooked. Traditional seafood: grilled eel, marinated eel, risotto and mixed fried fish.
