Danone Nations World Cup 2019

The 2019 Danone Nations World Cup competition will take place in Barcelona in October this year and winners of the District Cup and Girls’ Cup competitions will be invited, along with last year’s winners, to attend to represent England during the festivities.

Over 700 children from 27 countries will attend the event, which will see each of the teams have the chance to head out onto the RCDE Stadium, home to La Liga team CF Espanyol, to play in their final match, following prior qualifying rounds.

2019 will mark the first time England have had the opportunity to send girls’ teams to the tournament and the four English teams (2018 and 2019 champions) will have the experience of a lifetime as they get to take part in the World’s Biggest Football Tournament.
