#3 Manchester United Premier Cup
The Manchester United Premier Cup was started in 1993 and more than 600 teams from all over Europe took part in the youth football tournament. The U-15 tournament is an annual affair and has been sponsored by Nike since its inception.
In 1994, the competition spread its roots to Asian countries as well, which increased the number of participants from 624 to 1067 and later in 1995 the Latin America nations were drafted in which meant the total number of teams went up to 1351. This tournament follows a regional structure, where teams from various regions around the globe qualify for the World Finals stage.
The tournament has continued to grow exponentially and in its last edition in 2014, over 8,000 teams and 1 million players competed in Premier Cup tournaments from 43 countries to qualify for the Premier Cup World Finals in Manchester.
