Globeducate Cup
The Globeducate Cup is an annual football competition that brings together students aged 12 to 14 from Globeducate schools across Europe. This popular sporting event is hosted in two parts, with the Med Cup held at rotational locations in our EU schools and the Iberia Cup held at rotational location on the Iberian Peninsula. The events provide a unique opportunity for students to engage in healthy competition while fostering new friendships and cultural exchange.
Sport plays an essential role in our schools. Beyond the obvious health and fitness benefits associated with physical activity, sport is an ideal way to teach students the values that we believe to be fundamental in personal development including teamwork, cooperation, leadership, discipline, determination and commitment.
This popular sporting event provides a unique opportunity for students to engage in healthy competition while fostering new friendships and cultural exchange.
This experience was absolutely remarkable, and I recommended it to everyone, particularly if you relish combining sports and social interaction. Staying with the host family was an excellent experience; they were very kind and included me on their daily routines and activities. I loved interacting with people from all around Spain and learned from them and I feel thankful because now they are my friends.

Participating in the Iberian Cup was truly enjoyable for me. This event offered a fantastic opportunity to connect with students from other Agora Schools and GBIS schools in Spain and to enjoy playing football, which I'm particularly passionate about. I encourage other students to take part in this experience, as it promises a great deal of fun. We finished as the second-place team, which was very exciting, although the most important thing was to participate
