When it comes to developing the next generation of footballers in Peru, few youth tournaments match the prestige and competition level of Copa Promesas. Organized by Club Universitario de Deportes at their official Campomar and Vidu venues, this tournament really brings together some of the country’s best young talents – players born between 2013 and 2017, competing in two divisions, Elite and Oro. The tournament doesn’t just showcase talent; it actively promotes young players’ growth and aims to help them step up into the country’s official football system.
Each edition is no small feat – about 100 teams and roughly 1,800 players take part, making this arguably one of the most competitive youth football tournaments in the region. The structure includes promotion and relegation between divisions, keeping the competition sharp and exciting.
Lately, the tournament has been running smoother thanks to its partnership with Torneo by Sofascore, a digital platform designed to make managing football competitions easier and more professional. Instead of juggling spreadsheets or waiting for updates, organizers and fans receive live scores, team stats, and match events almost instantly. And it’s not just about convenience; it’s about lifting the entire experience for everyone involved.
Representatives from Copa Promesas highlighted how the app changed their workflow during matches:
“During the tournament, the automation of the app allowed us to register match statistics quickly and easily in real time. This brought a dynamic new layer to the experience, boosting the exposure of our competition and streamlining our operations.”
This immediate access to data has given the tournament better exposure and made operations less stressful.
