Wikipedia - Maurice Revello Tournament
The Maurice Revello Tournament (officially French: the Festival International "Espoirs" – Tournoi Maurice Revello), previously known as the Toulon Tournament, is a football tournament, which traditionally features invited national teams composed of youth players from U-17 to U-23 level. Although the first tournament in 1967 featured club teams, it has been limited to national teams since 1975 (except in 1986 and 1989 when INF Vichy was invited). The tournament is held around Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, with the final usually being held in Toulon. The tournament was renamed in honour of Maurice Revello, who started the tournament in 1967 and died in 2016.
History
Toulon Tournament is a tournament not run under the supervision of FIFA or an individual national association. Therefore, it is deemed as the most prestigious of all friendly tournaments involving youth teams, and considered an unofficial world championship before FIFA introduced the official World Youth Cup in 1977. Despite the establishment of the FIFA U-20 World Cup and later, FIFA U-17 World Cup however, the Toulon Tournament remains an important tournament for youth football teams.
The tournament features teams from various nations, including traditional soccer powerhouses as well as emerging footballing nations. The competition is known for its high level of play and intense matches, as teams battle it out for the prestigious title.
The Maurice Revello Youth Tournament is a great opportunity for young players to gain valuable experience, test themselves against top competition, and catch the eye of scouts and talent evaluators from professional clubs. Many past participants have gone on to have successful careers in professional soccer, making this tournament a key stepping stone for aspiring young players.
With a rich history and a reputation for excellence, the Maurice Revello Youth Tournament is a must-see event for soccer fans and a crucial showcase for the future stars of the sport.
