A selection of under-20s from La Academia are on the way to Austria to take part in this prestigious international youth football tournament as from tomorrow.

Málaga CF, headed up by Sergio Pellicer, is in Group A and will come up against Austrian side, SK Rapid Wien (16/6 – 7:45 p.m.); Turkey’s Galatasaray SK (17/6 – 5 p.m.); and Argentina’s Boca Juniors (18/6 – 5 p.m.)  In Group B, Slovakia’s SK Slovan Bratislava; Brazil’s Cruzeiro; Uruguay’s Club Nacional de Fútbol; and Italy’s Bologna are competing.
