Hexagon Cup
Under the motto "For the Fans. For the Players. For the Game", this revolutionary competition is born with the ambition to offer a new and disruptive approach with a novel format where 6 teams, each composed of three pairs (a male pair, a female pair, and a pair of future stars), will compete to reach the final phase, where the inaugural champion of the Hexagon Cup will be crowned, with a prize pool of one million euros at stake.
The first edition of the Hexagon Cup will take place at the Madrid Arena, where a Fan Village will also be set up with various activities for fans: autograph signing sessions, player training areas, live concerts, entertainment, shops, exhibitions, food trucks, and high-quality gastronomic options.
Tickets for the event, starting from 20€, can be purchased through its website www.hexagoncup.com.
