Binational Soccer Tourney
San Diego Sister Cities International Association (SanDISCA) is hosting its first Balboa Cup, a free tournament that aims to promote binational cooperation between border cities. Taking place on August 15 and 16, the Balboa Cup will feature high school students from San Diego and Tijuana. The cup will also have an opening ceremony with musical performances and will be attended by American soccer legend Landon Donovan. Cross Border Xpress (CBX) also joins the celebration by gifting soccer equipment to underserved youth in Tijuana. On August 16, the bridge that connects the Tijuana Airport with San Diego will present an in-kind donation to Bridge to the Future Foundation, an organization that protects Tijuana’s youth from drug and violence through immersive soccer programs.
