The JETIX KIDS CUP, which aims to promote fair play, cultural exchange and an active lifestyle, is being held in 2006 for the seventh time in a row. Up to 16 nations from three continents will be taking part in this unique children's football event, which will culminate in a grand finale in the Olympic Stadium. After the end of the national competitions in May 2006, the winning teams from every nation will come to Munich to represent their country in the international finals and to share their love of football with children from all over the world. The JETIX KIDS CUP was established in 1999 and is an event that is broadcast worldwide in which up to 20 nations participate each year. The last world finals were held in 2004 in the Disneyland Resort in Paris. The current World Children's Football Champions are the girls' team from the USA and the boys' team from Israel.
