Once again, the Penya Barcelonista Vilamajor’s (Federació del Penyes del Vallès) reaffirmed its role as a promoter of eSports in its town with the 5th FIFA SAV Tournament. This event, part of the Sant Lleïr Festivities, was a great success in terms of organization and participation, with a total of 40 players, all of them young people aged between 10 and 18 from Sant Antoni de Vilamajor. The competition took place at Sala El Patronat and once again had the support of the Confederació Mundial de Penyes and the Sant Antoni de Vilamajor Town Council. The tournament was played using the EA FC 25 video game, and its format guaranteed each player a minimum of two matches. All the winners advanced through the knockout rounds until reaching the grand final, which was broadcast on a giant screen.
Throughout the event, the atmosphere was fun and fair play prevailed among all participants, many of whom were returning after having played in previous editions. This year, the tournament champion won a PlayStation 5, a premium prize that highlights the great success of this 5th FIFA SAV Tournament by PB Vilamajor’s. The awards ceremony was led by the penya’s president, Quim Vergés, and the youth technician from the Youth Department of the Sant Antoni de Vilamajor Town Council, Èlia Delgado. Both highlighted the success of the initiative and expressed their intention to hold another edition next year.
