The Zico Cup is an international tournament featuring teams from Brazil and Argentina.
. Before departing they attended orientation meetings with a local coordinator and coaches to prepare for the journey. The participants will also take part in a variety of cultural activities such as beach soccer, attending professional matches, fute volley, futsal, a service project (donating used equipment and school supplies) and several tours. In addition to building soccer skills, the players will earn academic credit while getting to know the people, culture and history of the places visited.
