Orlando, FL – March 26, 2025 – PVBLIC Foundation is proud to partner with MagiCup, an international youth soccer tournament at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Walt Disney World, Orlando, as part of the foundation’s expanding efforts to leverage global sport for impact.
Organizer IdeaBlueSky, LLC, has joined the IdeaSport Foundation and the United Nations’ Football for the Goals initiative to go beyond competition, and create the MagiCup platform for the tournament to serve as a catalyst for education, opportunity, and empowerment. MagiCup will unite some of the world’s most prestigious football clubs to provide young athletes—particularly those from underserved backgrounds—with transformative educational and development opportunities.
PVBLIC’s role as fiduciary, impact partner, and fund manager will ensure that the MagiCup program delivers on its promise to become a global education and leadership initiative as it provides youth with scholarships, career opportunities, and a pathway to leadership and success.
A Tournament with a Purpose
MagiCup aligns with the United Nations’ Football for the Goals initiative, leveraging sport as a tool to foster leadership, inclusivity, and social impact. The tournament’s first edition will welcome elite youth teams from around the world, competing in a 7v7 format in June 2026.
The partnership will align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on:
Quality Education (SDG 4) with a goal to provide access to education and scholarship opportunities for young athletes.
Decent Work & Economic Growth (SDG 8) with a goal to create pathways for young leaders to secure future employment and career success.
Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10) with a goal to help children from marginalized communities receive opportunities they would not otherwise have.
Beyond the inaugural event, MagiCup will provide young players with a holistic support system aimed at long-term development. This includes four-year residential high school scholarships in Orlando, university scholarship pathways, mentorship programs, and leadership training. By integrating sports with education, MagiCup seeks to break the cycle of poverty and create sustainable opportunities for youth worldwide.
The MagiCup tournament is committed to ensuring participants not only enhance their athletic and academic potential but also gain a once-in-a-lifetime experience at Walt Disney World. Off the pitch, players will explore Disney’s world-class theme parks and attractions, fostering cultural exchange and personal growth.
To amplify its mission, the MagiCup will be documented in an episodic series, capturing the journeys of participating athletes and showcasing football’s power to transform lives. By telling these stories, the initiative aims to set a new standard for social inclusion through sport, building a movement that extends beyond the tournament itself.
Strategic Partnerships for a Lasting Legacy
The MagiCup program is a collaborative effort between PVBLIC Foundation, IdeaBlueSky, IdeaSport, IdeaSport Foundation, and the United Nations’ Football for the Goals initiative. Through partnerships with corporations, governments, and sports organizations, the initiative is designed to ensure long-term sustainability and expand its impact on communities worldwide.
"Sport has always been a powerful force for unity, opportunity, and transformation. Through MagiCup, we are not just hosting a tournament—we are building a global platform that leverages football to drive education, leadership, and social impact. At PVBLIC Foundation, we believe that by integrating sport with sustainable development, we can create pathways for young athletes to access education, unlock opportunities, and become the next generation of leaders shaping a better world."— Sergio Fernández de Córdova, Executive Chairman, PVBLIC Foundation.
"Our dream is for every child to have the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their background," said Eduardo Frisicaro, founder of the program. "With MagiCup, we are creating a global movement that not only changes lives but also inspires an entire generation to believe in the transformative power of education.''
