The Toulon Tournament (officially the Festival International "Espoirs" - Tournoi Maurice Revello) is a football tournament. The teams are invited national teams composed of youth players from U-17 to U-23 level. The tournament is named after Maurice Revello, who started the tournament in 1967. The first tournament in 1967 featured club teams, but it changed to national teams in 1975 (except in 1986 and 1989 when INF Vichy was invited).[1] The tournament is held around Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, with the final being held in Toulon itself.
Rules
[change | change source]The Toulon Tournament usually was played with two 40-minute halves. In 2019 every match consisted of two periods of 45 minutes each. In a match, every team has eleven named substitutes and the maximum number of substitutions permitted is four.
In the knockout stage, if a game tied at the end of regulation time, extra time is not played and the penalty shoot-out is used to determine the winner.
