The English Football Association has chosen Pinatar Arena, a sports complex located in San Pedro, to host the UEFA U-16 Development Tournament, with England, Italy, Belgium and Nigeria set to take part.
Sides from England, Germany, Netherlands and the Czech Republic recently played in the Costa Cálida Supercup U-18 at Pinatar Arena, which is fast becoming a firm favourite for international sporting competitions in the Region of Murcia.
