Organized league championships
Soccer tournaments are organized competitions in which teams play a series of matches to determine a champion.
Formats vary—knockout brackets, round-robin groups, or combinations of both.
Tournaments range from local youth events to global spectacles like the World Cup: Our team made it to the semifinals of the tournament.
