Sao Paulo Youth Cup All Around the World

Great soccer final will be broadcast to 60 countries, Jan. 25

The Sao Paulo Youth Cup or Copa Sao Paulo de Juniores -- as it is called in Brazil -- is the most important soccer youth championship here.

The tournament is for teams from every part of Brazil and is famous for revealing Brazil's most amazing talents.Julio Baptista, Robinho and Kaka, are just some of the stars who began their careers in the Sao Paulo Youth Cup.

This year some young talents were tapped before the Cup began: The offensive winger Neymar playing for Santos, Oscar Sao Paulo's midfielder. But all of them have already been eliminated.

The final match is Atletico-PR against Corinthians.

The final is always played on Jan. 25, the date of the foundation of Sao Paulo city. All matches are played in Sao Paulo state and this year is no different. But there is one difference this year; for the very first time the Sao Paulo Youth Cup final will be broadcast in 60 countries. This will give a chance for European countries, or at least 15 of them, to watch who will probably be Brazil's next soccer star.

Both Corinthians and Atletico have good soccer talent to highlight, and I bet that a good part of the most important European soccer managers will be keenly watching this match, on the lookout for the next Brazilian surprise.
