Eighth graders Mason Kovach and David Stuebgen traveled to Barcelona, Spain on March 17 to compete with their Stars United Elite Boys U14 club soccer team in the Mediterranean International Competition.
The competition starts on March 23, but the two athletes have been training and playing exhibition games called friendly games with local Spanish teams.
“They were excited to play soccer in the streets of Spain yesterday. Some of the locals stopped to watch,” shared Mason’s mother, Lisa Kovach.
Stars United won their first friendly 4-0 in Sitges against CF Blanca Subur 4.
According to the Star United website, their partner, David Oertli of Lazz Sports, coordinated the 10-day trip for the team and parents.
