3 v 3 World Cup Youth Schedule
Play begins at 12:15 PM across 5 fields, with games running back-to-back all afternoon (18-minute games, 7-minute breaks). Pool play is followed by playoffs for every group — all teams play at least 4 games total, with only the two winners advancing to the Final of each group.
NOTE: U12 Group 1 and Group 2 coaches/parents
Your first game is early (12:15 PM for Group 1, 12:40 PM for Group 2), but there's a longer-than-usual gap before your team's second game — about 1 hour 20 minutes. After that, the rest of the day runs at the normal pace (roughly 30–45 minutes between games). Plan to hang around the venue rather than leaving between your first two games.

Event Parking Options
During large events, parking around Maracana is limited due to downtown location. Please see red marked areas for extra parking. Most importantly, please be kind and thoughtful to our neighbors in Armory park and if parking in the neighborhood, do not block driveways or roads.
