At the start of the tourist season and with the enthusiasm of an electrifying summer, in a coastal city and in a “location” that is increasingly becoming a meeting point for tourists… The city of Durrës was this June, the arena of the football festival that gathered dozens of football talents in a festival of passion and dedication, which included young and old.
For 4 days in a row at “Vala Park”, about 300 children turned the field into a small “La Masia”, a farm that produced and forged Albanian talents and that attracted the attention of family members, simple spectators and tourists for those who tomorrow will be the next “Broja”, the next “Strakosha” in the national team or “Asani” discovered by Dyrrah City Football Fest. Different children from all the cities of Albania gathered here and they shared their love for the most beautiful game in the world – football. It was an experience full of excitement and joy, where every goal and every pass, every sprint on the green field or triumph for the goal, created unforgettable moments for all participants.
Numbers…they are important. 45 improvised matches in the 3X3 format, while 5 trophies were distributed for all age groups. 10 medals for the girls’ teams and 10 invitations to be part of the unique training experience with Manchester City coaches.
The sparks in the eyes of children and parents were the most beautiful postcard of this impressive organization. Passion for football not only helps children develop their physical skills, but also creates a strong sense of cooperation and friendship. By sharing a passion for the game of football, children create strong bonds and unforgettable memories. This academy is a place where talent and dedication come together to create the stars of tomorrow. But Dyrrah City Football Fest was just the beginning…
The cooperation with Manchester City and the small but safe steps of the academy are preparing other initiatives at the end of this summer. Stay tuned…
