The Barça Academy República Dominicana hosted the seventh edition of the Barça Academy Cup Las Américas, enjoying outstanding participation and a high standard of play from the more than 500 boys and girls who took part over four days of competition in the spectacular natural setting of Punta Cana.

This year’s tournament featured teams from Canada, Colombia, Mexico (Mexico City and Querétaro), Italy, the United States (BA Pro Miami and New York, Austin, Chicago and the Carolinas), Ecuador, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Japan, and Barça Escola Barcelona.
