The Foundation collaborated one more year with Fundacion El Larguero in the 20th National Junior 7-a-side Football Blue BBVA Championship, held in Los Carmenes stadium (Granada) from the 7-9th of June 2013. The junior teams of the clubs that participated in the Liga BBVA this season were present.

In this 20th edition, the following prizes were awarded:

1. Champion: F.C. Barcelona

The Foundation collaborates annually in the LFP Campus, an activity organised in Montanya (Barcelona) for boys and girls aged 8 to 13 years of age, with educational and sport objectives, and that brings together over 130 students from Spain, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Mexico and Panama.

During the non-sporting hours, there are entertainment and leisure activities (games, swimming, activities in English language...), combined with educational and social workshops in cooperation with organisations such as UNICEF and FAO, as well as visits to football stadiums of the Liga BBVA clubs.
