Premier Youth Football Organizations

About Us

Founded in 2019 in Istanbul, Lig34 was established to develop youth football and provide young talents with more match experience.

As an organization that embraces the universal values of football and effectively integrates technology, our mission is to contribute to the development of children through the game.

Starting from Istanbul, our journey continues across Turkey with growing participation.

Our goal is to offer children more match opportunities, create chances to play against different teams, and support their path toward a professional career.

To achieve this, we organize tournaments that deliver a professional football experience, held on high-standard pitches and officiated by qualified and experienced referees.

In addition, through digital solutions and a comprehensive data system, we aim to monitor player development and provide greater visibility and recognition for young talents on their way to professionalism.

We operate across a wide range of competitions—from local leagues to large-scale national and international tournaments.

Through our prestigious events such as the Republic Cup, Kemer Cup, and Junior World Cup Antalya (JWCA), we offer children invaluable national and international experiences.

In our tournaments, we also highlight top-performing athletes with awards such as Top Scorer, Player of the Tournament, and Fair Play honors.
