Qualified teams
One deposit holds your place.
Invited clubs confirm their team with a €1,000 team deposit — credited in full toward the team's packages. Three team places per age category. When they're claimed, they're gone.
After a team confirms, each family purchases its own packages — players, coaches, and any supporters who want to make the trip. Supporters are welcome, never required.

Questions
Asked and answered.
How do clubs qualify?
United States team places are earned through the Champions Cup Series points rankings. Every CCS division champion earned an invitation; remaining places went to the next-highest-ranked club in the older age year of each combined category. Clubs that weren't invited can apply for consideration below — places open when invited clubs pass.
Which age categories compete?
Four combined boys categories in 2026: 2011/2012 (Cadete), 2013/2014 (Infantil), 2015/2016 (Alevín) and 2017/2018 (Benjamín).
Can our roster mix both birth years?
Yes. Any player born in either year of your category is eligible. How you build your 12 is your club's call — many clubs blend both years.
What does the team deposit do?
The €1,000 deposit confirms your team and holds one of the three US places in your category. It is credited in full toward your team's package balance — it's a head start, not an extra fee.
What do families actually pay?
Once the team is confirmed, each family purchases packages directly: €850 per player or coach and €750 per spectator, covering the hotel, all meals, ground transport, tournament entry and insurance. Supporters are optional — bring the whole family or just your player.
Are flights included?
No — families book their own flights into Barcelona. An optional airport transfer is available at €50 per person, with arrivals on December 26 between 9:00 and 15:00.
Where do we stay?
A quality coastal hotel in Lloret de Mar or Santa Susanna, five nights with three meals a day. The exact hotel is confirmed in September.
Can the schedule change?
Group draws, kickoff times and day-by-day details are published closer to the tournament and can shift with final team counts. The dates — December 26 arrival, December 31 departure — are fixed.
Not invited yet?
Think your club belongs here?
The 2026 US places went to the top of the CCS rankings — but places open when invited clubs pass, and the scouting never stops. Tell us who you are.
