The Florida Cup is one of international soccer’s most rapidly-growing, friendly tournaments hosted annually throughout the Sunshine State. With nearly half a million Colombian and Brazilian-Americans calling Florida home, the opportunity to see the likes of Colombia’s Atlético Nacional and Brazil’s Palmeiras and Corinthians in their own backyard is an opportunity no die-hard South American soccer fan can miss. Additionally, the sixth edition of the tournament this year is hosting FC Spartak Moscow from Russia. The four teams will face-off between January 13-20, 2019.
This year’s tournament is better than ever with its addition of a collaboration with Universal Orlando Resort!
