Which club has won the La Liga Promises International Tournament the most times in history: Palmarés and all champions
LaLiga Promises has become the premier under-12 football tournament globally. In 2014, a partnership between the competition and the José Ramón de la Morena Foundation birthed a platform dedicated to nurturing young talent and championing the sport’s positive values. The aim has always been clear: promote grassroots football and uphold the spirit of fair play, teamwork, and development that this sport embodies. Each year, the strongest youth academies worldwide converge here, turning the spotlight on tomorrow’s stars.
Beyond its national footprint, LaLiga Promises extends beyond Spain to host an international edition each year. In this event, all 20 LaLiga Santander clubs participate alongside other renowned clubs from around the globe. Season after season, LaLiga Promises stands as a premier showcase for some of the most exciting futures in world football.
The tournament’s history includes a name change: it was formerly known as the International Youth Football Tournament 7 until 2011, when the competition reorganized the youth categories and began representing teams through the now more widely recognized second-year infantil category.
Throughout its history, seven different teams have claimed an edition, with Spanish clubs dominating the record except for two years when a Cameroonian squad and BV Borussia claimed titles. Atlético de Madrid is the current champion, continuing a strong tradition of Spanish success in this event.
