The format gives younger players a memorable, player-first stage: U-14 teams play 7v7, U-17 teams play 11v11, and each match has a winner through penalties if needed.
The guide frames the day as an exhibition and learning opportunity, not a national-team tryout. That clarity matters: players get inspiration from Dominican Women’s National Team figures while families keep the focus on joy, respect, and development.
