“We are very excited and want, above all, to enjoy ourselves,” explains Naser Kayani, VCF Femenino B coach. His players come into the prestigious tournament after having achieved a victory in last weekend's Segunda Fut Fem Federation season closer.

"We have some important absences due to injury and we are going to Switzerland with a very young team, with some 16-year-old players, but we are going to compete as we always do,” highlights the coach, who has some VCF Femenino C players available for action.

The Blue Stars / FIFA Youth Cup will take place at the Buchlern sports facility in Zurich, with capacity for 6000 spectators. 

It is played in a group format with reduced time matches -20 minutes each time-. The top two teams in each group will play in the semifinals and the two winners in the final.

VCF Femenino U19 has previously participated in this Blue Stars / FIFA Youth Cup, which on its website highlights the presence in previous editions of the World Champion with Spain and VCF Femenino goalkeeper Enith Salón.
