The Penya Blaugrana de Sant Cugat (Federació de Penyes de Vallès) hosted the 3rd edition of the 7-a-Side Football Tournament for Diverse Abilities (formerly known as the Adapted 7-a-side Football Tournament) with great success in participation and attendance. The initiative, organized in collaboration with the Sant Cugat City Council, brought together five teams at the Can Magí Municipal Football Field, with a total of 70 participants including players, coaches, and assistants.
The teams that took part in the 3rd 7-a-Side Football Tournament for Diverse Abilities by PB Sant Cugat were CFU Mira-sol Baco Catalònia Fundació Creactiva, Maresme Catalònia Fundació Creactiva, Arc de Sant Martí Association of Martorell, CFU Mira-sol Baco ValldoFlore Catalònia Fundació Creactiva, and Penya Blaugrana Sant Cugat–Taller Jeroni de Moragas.
