This year’s MICFootball was presented in the Sessions Hall of the Girona Provincial Council in the presence of forward Cristian Stuani, footballer and captain of the Girona FC first team and sponsor of the tournament. Miquel Noguer, president of the Girona Provincial Council, stated that “the MIC is a perfect combination that generates synergies between the event and our region. Beyond the great qualitative contribution to our tourism sector, it also makes the dreams of young footballers from our home teams, regardless of their age group, come true, allowing them to face the world’s biggest clubs.” Stuani, MICFootball’s ambassador in Girona One of this year’s sponsors is forward Cristian Stuani, who explained what it means for a footballer to play in a tournament with the characteristics of MICFootball. “It’s a pleasure, a privilege, and an honor to be part of this edition of the tournament. Being able to support an initiative like this, which has become a World Cup for youth categories, is spectacular. I put myself in the shoes of the boys and girls who will play in the MIC; their simplicity and passion for this sport remind me of when I was little. I was crazy about soccer, and the ball was my joy,” said the Uruguayan. He also looked back on his time as a player with the Montilivi club: “When I signed, I never imagined I would be able to experience such a journey or such wonderful things. I was very excited to join a club that still had so much to achieve. And it’s true that I’ve had options to leave, but I’ve always been happy and comfortable in a city that has welcomed me. The relationship with the club and with Girona has become a bond that’s hard to break, and I don’t regret having decided to stay here all this time.” The presentation was also attended by the Spanish Government’s sub-delegate in Girona, Pere Parramon; the president and director of MICFootball, David Bellver and Maite Colomer; the territorial representative of Sport in Girona, Narcís Casassa; and the director of Institutions at CaixaBank in Girona, Gemma Batlle.
