The winner of each city and category will play a triangular tournament in Madrid. 2 Training of 20 grassroots coaches of women's football from Ireland, Turkey and Spain by the coaches of the Atlético de Madrid (ATM) academy. It will consist of an initial online training, a face-to-face training in each country, and a final training in Madrid, through the integration of the selected coaches in the ATM women's teams, who will attend all the matches of the Madcup tournament played by each ATM women's team.
