The 2013 Viareggio Cup is up and running, and we at Forza Italian Football aim to bring you all the coverage you need from one of the most prestigious youth football tournaments in the world.
Juventus will look to defend their title against the cream of Italy’s youth sides as well as teams from England, Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Denmark, Macedonia, Paraguay, Chile, Norway, USA, Spain and Serbia.
The team that finishes top in each group will qualify for the second round, as well as the best second placed side from each half of the draw (One from Groups 1-6 and another from Groups 7-12).
The tournament will be held between the 11th and 25th February 2013.
