San Judas and Arroyo Hondo still have a chance

" La Copa", which in its sixth edition implemented a series of changes in the competition system, is nearing its final stage, this year branded as " La Champions", with the participation of the top 16 male teams and the top eight female teams from across the country.

The Copa Malta Morena de Fútbol is an invitation-based school event held in the male category for youths born between 2008 and 2010, and in the female category for girls born between 2006 and 2010 in an 11 versus 11 format under FIFA regulations.

" La Copa" has evolved from its first edition in 2018 to the current moment, with the competition system for the 2024 edition undergoing modifications.
